Good luck with the extra GT kids, at least you do get to hand pick them, that'll help.<br />Jeff - that's a good way of looking at it, I also have twice the time to cover the material, which will help.Max Sartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07271198231897203659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313795221042048302.post-60132509449086108392009-08-29T08:46:03.943-06:002009-08-29T08:46:03.943-06:00The good thing about having the ninth graders ever...The good thing about having the ninth graders every day is that you'll stand a better chance of changing them to your way of teaching than if you just had them every other day.

It sounds like you're having some fun.<br />In comparison, I've only had to write one e-mail home and rake one other kid up one side and down the other (then he had the same thing happen in math the next period because he smart-mouthed DP also-- duh).<br />I was also told that because I only have 28 kids who qualify for 9GT this year (since we lost about 6 to a boundary change), I have to take more kids because other 9th grade classes have 42 kids. However, I am allowed to choose the kids, so I'm of course taking the kids who come closest to qualifying for the course.A Paperback Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155962941590663738noreply@blogger.com
