What hour do you feel most prepared?
I feel most prepared almost all hours. Every once in a while, my busyness keeps me from being totally prepared.
How do you feel about your adjusted biology classes?
I think teaching adjusted biology classes is both a joy and a challenge. It is a joy because you usually have less kids in class and you get to spend more individual time with them. I also enjoy having a para in the class. Mrs. Pickett does a very good job. It is a challenge because many of the students have troubles with attendance and assignment completion. Students also seem to be coming and going more often than in other classes.
How do you feel about your computer classes?
I am very proud of my computer classes since I started them and have adapted them as the years have progressed. Generally the students in my computer classes are good learners and motivated.
In which of those classes do you find more enjoyment?
I actually enjoy my 2 types of classes equally. They are very different... but teaching is teaching.
