End of Year, Website Updates

To all you educators out there, hopefully your year is winding down as smoothly as possible. It has been hectic in Shelbyville, Kentucky...

Questions for Schools has been updated with some exciting new student commentary. I invited my 8th grade writers to respond in editorial or essay form to many of the questions I pose on the website. Since students aren't normally asked about their opinions on grading, classroom motivation, and other relevant topics, they responded with zeal and wrote some great pieces. I've chosen some excerpts from all four of my classes to showcase some of their perspectives.

If any of their points-of-view resonate with you, please be in touch with me and I'll relay the message to the kids.
