Teaching?!?!????

What a roller coaster of student achievment. I'll make sure to post some of our new robots from the VBRC 2009 (VA Beach Robot Competition) of which we got 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5th place (SWEPT IT!) as well as 22nd, 23rd, & 24th. That part of teaching is going well mostly; the motivated students have a thirst for learning and want to soak up info like a sponge..... and keep me busy.

I can somewhat relate -- my mom was a teacher for over 30 years and I got to hear about all kinds of problem children and issues like that. My sis-in-law is a teacher too. It is really, really tough! Hang in there!

yeah it pretty much sucks. in my community college classes, i spend 90% of my effort teaching the bottom 25% students. The gifted students sleep through class, and the middle 50% are just plain bored. It sucks.
