Bio Monday

The weekend was pretty quiet.  My daughter caught my cold.  We watched Science Fiction together.

Today, I was feeling a bit better, though I still had sniffles.  A teacher was actually sick, so I got a call.  She had three “Intro to Bio” classes and two “AP Bio” classes.  I’d like to say that the AP classes were both excellent, but one was on task, and the other was not.  I expected that the “Intro” kids would not want to work (actually, two of the three classes were excellent!), but AP kids?  I expect them to act like college kids.  I was really let down by the last class of the day.  Still, they weren’t horrible; they just weren’t as studious as the previous AP class had been.  It was sort of funny that a group of boys in this last AP class were actually betting on whether or not they would get answers correct as they studied.  I had never seen that before.  It was some sort of geek gambling.
