As I set here watching you take your EOC, I am forced to reflect on the past year. There are a few things I would change if I could, maybe the 7 weeks spent on To Kill A Mockingbird, or choosing Robert Forest to research. I would have stuck to my guns about Grammar Mondays and made sure we covered it more than once a week. I would have given more homework, let’s be honest, I would have given actual homework. The due dates for assignments would have been set and followed, regardless of the student’s situations. *Golly my head is getting heavy. Watching you take this test has been painful for me…
