05/22/2003

Pretty good school day. Tried a new HIV/AIDS idea - I allowed the students to write on the board all of their questions about HIV/AIDS. I got 10 good questions, just from one class. I think it worked because it wasn't a one-by-one sequence of questions where the students get bored.

My youngest class was a pain in the ass, though. They were extremely hyper, and though they're smart, they're also young...and incredibly immature (as you would expect). I kept them in silence for 5 minutes straight at the beginning of class, which helped a little.

I really can't get enough of teaching. The look on a kid's face when they get it is incredible.

Peace
