stupidness

With the budget cuts to the schools, every teacher has to "do more with less". Here is how I am apparently going to do my part. In normal, sane circumstances me and Mrs. G split the students in the unit by grade: 9-10 and 11-12. This way we don't have our immature and gullible 14 year old freshmen with our 19 and 20 year old seniors. Well, Mrs. G has off 4th period, and normally there would be another teacher available for those other students. Not anymore. So I get all of them in a small room for 2 hours a day for the entire year. (4th period is block, so you would normally only have them for half the year.) To top it off I have no new materials and we wont be getting any money for stuff. So I guess we will just be using the same exact books we have used for the past 3 years with the same kids. Nothing like boredom in a classroom to set off the mischievous and the bullies looking for entertainment.
