Wk 3 Why are my students insane?
It is a phenomenon that happens every year at about this time. The students have gone insane. They seem to "check out" as summer vacation approaches. I'm always exhausted when I come home from school. I wish that we could keep the end of the school year a secret. The kids would go about their business with the idea that they had an extra week of school left. Then, one day, we'd just say, "Surprise! This is the last day of school!" Maybe we'd be able to get more out of the kids if we were able to do this? Then, again, we'd have to tell the parents and some of them wouldn't be able to keep the secret. It would only last one year. We wouldn't be able to pull the same prank the following year because the kids would be on to us.

Shhhh... don't tell anyone, but there are some emdt students who seem to suffer from the same problem. Brilliant work for 10 months, extraordinary discoveries... and then.... what was that assignment again? we need to put our name on our work? you don't know what i'm thinking about when i send in an email question without referring to which assignment I'm confused by? I do think that, just as the end comes in sight, some our students also have a tough time concentrating. Really. This isn't a complaint, just an observation. :-)
