OK, so it has been a month since the last post. I have just returned from the NCTM confeence in Atlanta. WHat a place! Nowhere did it say that you would have to walk about a mile or so for each session. At least I came prepared with my tennis shoes! Of course, that is because I was planning to walk from the hotel to the conference center. Since the hotel had a shuttle service, I took that instead.

Many of the sessions were worthwhile. I especially enjoyed Dinah Zike's session. Talk about a bundle of energy! You would never know she is recovering from cancer.

Meanwhile, the same old things are going on in the classroom. We are trying to get ready for the end of year testing, and still have the same things -- apathy and lack of work. There is no way some of these kids will ever pass the test. I spoke with several teachers from other states in Atlanta about this, and see the same things. SIGH!!!!!!!!
