Saturday

It's been another very busy week. School is going well. I think this will be a very good year. The finest bunch of students we have had in a long time. Although I needed another full time job like a hole in the head, I am enjoying teaching high school again. I always did like teaching and it's much more fun than administrating things.

Poor kids don't know what has hit them. I have them studying Call of the Wild with me, going through "The Singer" as a Bible study each morning and reading the a chapter of the Book of John each day. There will be much more literature and composition this year, since this is my thing and I feel it is very important.

Public schools have senior projects that are requirements for graduating. Private schools don't, but I'm thinking of implementing it, just to assure good writing skills. Our students do a lot of essays and smaller writing projects, but they need more 'official' term papers under their belts. (keeps those pants up.)

Also had a student's dad offer to coach basketball for us. That's a blessing. I said, "yes" right away.
