This, of course, includes the Christmas baking. Jeff has learned, after 23 years, to just get out of my way and go with the flow. Seriously, I love it AND everything has to be just right. I don't know if you realize it but I am a Christmas Monster. But not here in the Beaverton School District! We work and learn until the BITTER END! Oh, did I mention that every other school district in the Portland Metro Area is already on break? Yeah, there's a nice factoid! So, here we sit, the last bastion of learning in the Portland area, simplifying radicals.ĭo I sound bitter or just tired? I'm going for tired. They are really tired, we teachers are really tired everyone needs a rest. Of course, being that there is only one more day before winter break (Yes, I know, the rest of the northern hemisphere is already on break! BASTARDS!!) the level of learning is shallow at best) you really can't blame the poor things. This year was better than most but they are still struggling. It's one of those things that, no matter how hard you try or what different approach you use, it just doesn't sink in. For one thing, you have to find a good way to teach kids that a fractional exponent is the same thing a root function. It's not my most favourite thing to teach. You remember radicals, right? You know, these fun little things √ ∛ ∜, square root, cube root, fourth root, etc. Well, here I am, stuck at school watching my students take a quiz on simplifying radicals.
