i will do almost anything other than grade this year. that includes other things i'm not fond of doing, such as working out and cleaning my classroom, house or car. this works ok for the most part as i know how the kids are doing really, i just don't have the physical proof recorded as such. yes, i suck. and the kids like to know how they are doing. but honestly, it's only the C kids who aren't really sure how they are doing. the As and the Fs are pretty obvious. or you would think so. and quite frankly, that's how my classes fall this year. except LA. no Fs a couple of As and a bunch of Bs. blah.
