i'm giving a test tomorrow. i LOVE giving tests. yes, i'm one of those teachers, but not for reasons you'd think. i love giving tests because test days are the only days that my kids are quiet the entire period. it's amazing that in light of how little they care about their grades and seem to think that homework is unimportant, they seem to somewhat "care" about tests. at least they're conditioned to take them a bit more seriously. of course, that only means that they act serious DURING the test. studying for them BEFORE hand is a completely different matter and too much to ask for. but yes, i'm looking forward to a nice, quiet day tomorrow at school.
