Better Late Than Never!!!


I am sure I am going to hear about this on Monday. I'm sorry I didn't get this posted sooner, I haven't been feeling good this weekend. Anyway, I guess I'll give you till Wednesday to respond. I have like 22 comments to moderate so don't freak out if you don't see your comment yet. Ok, well I really enjoyed class on Friday! I thought all three of my classes did an excellent job. Zach even asked a good question for once!! I thought 3rd block turned out to be very good, with Rena taking over the teaching duties for the period. I thought she did an excellent job and handled herself extremely well considering the tough questions that were asked of her. I found it extremely interesting to hear things from her unique perspective. That is exactly the type of thing I want going on in my classroom and is a perfect example of what I talked about on the 2nd day of school regarding open-mindedness. What was your take on class for Thursday and Friday? What did you think of the video? What about the discussions that resulted? Anyone want to share their hope for 50 years from now? How would the 40 passengers of Flight 93 want us to respond to our current situation? Do we owe those 40 passengers anything or do we simply accept their sacrifice and move on? Do the Vols have any shot against Florida this weekend? Check out the poll for more on that!! See you all tomorrow!

Obama or McCain

I didn't remind you guys in class today (2nd Block) to respond to the blog. Even though I did mention it in class on Thursday, I will give you until Tuesday to respond. I thought you all did a fantastic job debating in class today. You conducted yourselves like adults, probably more so than many of our politicians. I think these types of discussions are extremely important, even if you don't agree with everything that is being said. Just because we disagree about an issue, we don't have the right to treat each other like trash. I think that is a big problem in government today, this whole us versus them phenomenon that seems to be growing stronger and stronger. In the end, like both Obama and McCain stated, we all fly under the same flag. That being said, how do you all feel about the discussion today? Did anything discussed particullarly interest you? Are there any topics you wanted to talk about that we missed? Once again, let me say that I am extremely proud of how you conducted yourselves today, and that makes me much more likely to try fun and informative things in the future. Until next time, you stay classy Science Hill!

Czar Ramsey out!
