I think this blog might be late.  I'm not sure.

I read this book, or at least parts of it, this summer.  Of course, I forgot that I had read it, though I remembered when I started rereading it.  It's full of good advice.  The section on the history of education in Mississippi was quite interesting.  If I implemented all of the good advice I've found, I'd be set.  Well, maybe not quite set, but certainly in a better position.  I hate responding to books like this.  (just so you know)  I just don't have anything interesting or meaningful to say.  I SHOULD use a good bit of the tips in this book, but I probably won't, simply because I'm completely scatterbrained.  I can't remember to do everything.  I can't even keep track of my clipboard and pens in the classroom.  I'm a horrible teacher.  I should be a librarian. 

Sorry.  About the book.  It's great, I think.  I don't know what else to say.  I think I do some of the things the authors have suggested.  I should probably do more student-teacher conferences.  Maybe that would help some with my classroom management issues.  I'm willing to bet it would only help for about twenty minutes at a time, though.  Maybe I'll try it and find out. 

I do tend to be the center of attention for a significant portion of class time.  I'm working on it, though.  Working.  More activities?  I don't know. 

The end.
