Intervention

this new thing they're doing with intervention doesn't really make much sense to me.
If you're making below a 55% don't you think you should be working with your teacher?
Instead, they're letting the kids who aren't failing as bad work with the teachers, and they're making the kids who are failing hardcore sit in a room with their laptops, ipods, cell phones, with very little adult supervision.
It just seems more logical to have the kids who aren't failing as much be sitting in the "study session" and letting the kids who are failing worse work one on one with the teachers.
I do, however, like the new thing they're doing with the Early Release Fridays.
I don't think kids who have below average grades should be rewarded. I'm glad they're making the kids who have D's stay behind too. I mean sure, that's more kids that don't get out, but that's also more kids who have a better chance at raising their grades, and that's also a better way to motivate kids to actually pass. Because I know a lot of kids who are just like "Oh, I'll raise my grade from an F to a D, that way I can get out this Friday and then end up still doing badly in that class.

No!

I think not.
Never on your life.
Whatever, do what you want. (the womans way of saying no(: )
Not in a million years.
I don't think so.
Nope.
Nuh uh.
Not that I know of.
I can't
There isn't any chance of that happening.

school

I don't know if I'm going here next year or not. I'm considering transferring schools due to the fact that  I'm not looking forward to the new schedule next year...
We've had block scheduling the past 3 years, and I don't do well with change. So I probably won't do well at apollo next year.

Snowy weather

It's crazy. I have a friend who got snowed in down in TEXAS.
I was talking to him last night and he was on his way back to Owensboro from Arizona and he got stuck in the snow in Texas. He was supposed to be back in town tonight, but he's having to stay there for a couple days in a hotel.
He said it was supposed to be -15 degrees today. that's crazy to me, cause typically it's nice in Texas. even in the winter

green and yellow!

I'm so glad the packers won the superbowl.
typically I hate football and any sport really, besides tennis and soccer.
but i actually got into the superbowl last night.
It was pretty good.
The commercials weren't very good this year though, and the black eyed peas were terrible.
