Good thing I went to Mission College today.  The slides looked fine, but what was immensely helpful was going through the slides with my teacher.  She gave me pointers about what was too much information and what needed more explanation.  We also discovered that my presentation was way too long.  This is not unusual for me, but it was a concern for my teacher.  As per usual, she’s running late on her class presentations, so she cut me down from 30-45 to 20-30.  We decided to limit the entire presentation to before the Reformation… which cut out about 15-20 minutes of my lecture.  Even so, I bet that with questions, I’ll be in the 30 minute range.

This evening was back to school night at the High School.  I would follow my son’s track, and my wife would follow my daughter’s.  Wherever there was PE class or a teacher we’ve seen before, we would jump to the other person’s schedule.  I saw two of Courtney’s teachers (and four of Jeffrey’s), and Barb saw one of Jeffrey’s (and five of Courtney’s) as a result.  Jeffrey has a good mix of teachers for his senior year; I was really impressed with all the teachers.  When we got home, the first thing the kids asked was how we viewed each teacher.  Jeffrey had a differing opinion about one of the teachers (my favorite of the group!), stating that what he said is not what he actually does, but aside from that, we pretty much agreed.
