The Kid "Ain't" Going, Yet

My son is not leaving, yet, for basic training. It appears he was moved up on the list when another individual failed to respond to his call. As it turns out, that individual made it on time to report in at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. As a result, the boy is back on the list and is waiting to go. Anyone got a temporary job for a kid who worked as the computer tech at Circuit City? He's good - taught me a lot about 'puters. He has a car payment and insurance to pay. He signed-up for the Air Force on July 1 and quit his job to go into the military. He has been unemployed ever since. But, enough about me and mine.

Fixing Lab 8e
Munchkins saw the results of not reading and following directions and discussing plans with their groups before proceding. Those lab notebooks were, for the most part, a mess. Merry Christmas, Cherubs, you get to fix those nasty errors and improve your grade. Thank You, Mr. Zdun. Ahem, I did not quite hear you. Remember, I have to re-grade all those packets. THANK YOU, MR. ZDUN!!!!

Progress Reports Went Out Today, For Science
I handed out progress reports, today. For the most part, the grades are good -- however, I am sending out 14 progress reports to the homes of students that are failing or near failing. We have three more weeks to get "them thar" grades up-to-par.

Have a great night, folks.
