Summer camps 13 Jul 2008 | 03:35 am
We didn't really have summer camps when I was growing up. At least not thematic ones. We'd go to the seaside with teachers, but I don't recall doing any work. Today is my last day in math camp and in ...

Mark sent me an email: This is a school in the same county as the one we grew up in. Go to the one about "Mount Vernon Teacher could be Fired". I tried looking for a written story, and couldn't find ...
Left to write right :) 12 Jun 2008 | 05:34 am

Couldn't resist 30 Jan 2008 | 06:25 pm
I have so much to write about, that by the time I get to finally write I will have forgotten half of it. There is a lesson waiting to be done, for tomorrow, of course, so my post won't be written toda...
Full room 9 Jan 2008 | 05:24 pm
I taught my first 200 person class today. I am not easily intimidated by people, but it is hard to stand in front of that many. Especially when they don't look like they want to be there :) Other thin...
