Just so our school will look a little better, about 30 seventh graders (two groups of 15) stay after school twice each week to further prepare for the state tests coming up in May. I feel bad doing it, but being a teacher for the program pays well.
It’s drill, drill, drill inside when I think it’d be better to play, play, play outside, and I’m not the only one who thinks so. After the first session, I overheard a student wisecrack, “Let’s make like the birds and get the flock out of here!”
