We started giving our finals today, and it has been disheartening. It is a great final--a performance event, exit interview. The kids have to take specifics of what they've learned and connect them to the big ideas of the course. The kids are doing terribly. Here's the sad part, our class is an honors class. I feel like they are performing worse than my at-level class last year. I felt like banging my head against the wall after 3 hours straight of finals this afternoon. Our kids couldn't support arguments and some couldn't tell us anything about a single thing they've learned. That's scary! I felt like we had high standards and were really pushing the kids. Shows how much I know. It makes me feel like a complete failure as a teacher.
Ready for the school year to be over.
