Three weeks into the school year, I am faced with my hardest task. With standardized tests and increasing expectations for all teachers, how can there be a single “hardest” task?
Simple. With 162 new students each fall, my biggest challenge is learning their names. It takes me weeks — at least. Some classes are easier than others. The class with four Stephanies, a Kate, and four Katies — some of the “Katies” are actually “Caities” — has me stumped, yet my first period’s names were easy to learn.
