Summer school started today and man was it boring! It wasn't really my fault (that's my story and I'm stickin' to it) because of the lack of information and organization. Other teachers had the same complaints. The entire program was being run by still novice teachers who had obviously never undertaken a huge event such as this. They had lots of great ideas in many areas but overlooked some big ideas like actually checking in hundreds of students. I'm not saying I could have done a better job, but then I wouldn't have signed up to run a summer school program at this point in my career. Today was a lot of trial and error and a lot of pre-testing. Hopefully things will move along more smoothly tomorrow and the kids won't look bored out of their minds...I miss my first graders!
