Entry 141

Volunteering for Ms. Florinis today at Randall was a blast! My lesson today: Randall's 2009-2010 grade 8s are complete idiots.

As I filed their science quizes and tests, I never once saw a mark above 80 - half of them failed. And her homeroom class took from 9am to lunch (11:45am) to complete a simple 3-page math unit test, measurement. I later had to mark 3 components of their test, and not once did I see anyone get a perfect so far. Another note - I also filed their previous math quizes, and only 10% of the students received 80+%. Approximately the other 90% failed.

When I say failed, I mean below 50%. No jokes.

Oh! Remember the bridge building in grade 7? Well, of the two grade 7 classes today, I noticed the majority were using none other than Staple's white liquid glue for children. I hope Ms. Hajmollarabi survives standing on each and every one of those death bombs.

Ms. Florinis is not a difficult teacher. I believe the students just don't study or pay attention in class. During the period I was marking the math unit tests, there were 2 (or 3?) boys next to me. They asked Ms. Florinis if her math was hard, and she told them to ask me as I was in her last year's class. Obviously, I answered "no". She told me to tell them my mark for term 3 measurement, and I answer "99%". Oh-my-god was their answer.

Geez. Math is seriously easy. I don't even remember studying for math ...

P.S. It was fun to view the terrible grades. It actually made me feel better about my overall grade 8 year. I don't even bother to wonder if Trevaughn did better than the current grade 8s; it's definite.
