First the good news, My evaluated classes in front of the "elementary learners" last week and the "upper intermediate" in front of Angela two days ago were vastly improved according to both instructors and classmates. My first class at the nearby elementary last week and todays class with six year olds were fairly comfortable for me. Not sure how the teachers in these two classes will rate me. Also, for some reason, Angela was not able to evaluate either of these classes. I seemed to have worked well with my four classes with my business student, but then again, I have no idea how she will rate me.
Now, the bad. First progress test number three, still could not hit that 70. Now, I am told that I need to score an 80 on tomorrows final to get a passing grade on testing! So, progress tests, are really weekly evaluations, and are part of of the final. So, someone who has scored around 70 all the way into and including the final passes, verses the someone who starts with a fifty score and scores a score as high as the first person on the final or even higher fails.
Well not to cut this short but I need to get back to studying for tomorrows final. I have to admit that I had been considering not even bothering with testing. But, sitting here looking back over the last several years of my life, quitting has been so much easier for me. So much that I am so fucking tired of quitting. I will not quit on this exam, I am done with quitting.
