Where did the time go?
There's nothing like feeling discouraged with class to keep me from posting about a class. About 3 weeks ago, we had a class that was right after the TAAS test. The kids had taken the test for most of Tuesday and Wednesday, and they came to us completely wound up and stressed. They didn't say it in those words, but their behavior was probably the worst and for the first time the other teacher expressed such concern that perhaps we needed to stop having class.
After consulting, we decided to ask the Local Spiritual Assembly of Austin for support. We hope to meet with them, or a task force, before the end of the month.
As would follow, class this Wednesday was pretty good in terms of classroom management, and leaving feeling like the kids learned, and it was not necessary for the teachers to take 4 hours to recuperate.

- Several years ago I took Ruhi Book 3, which is about teaching elementary age children. The main focus is a spiritual education. There is goal in the Baha'i community to serve humanity through educating children. Even though I have avoided this service for decades, I am involved because it's so needed. If I just remember what I can do, and not how imperfect things are, God gives me what I need to continue.
