I have taught my students all I know about the ways of the algebra and now it is time to test their mettle on the paper battle field.  Armed with little more than a pencil, TI-84 graphing calculator, 6 in paper ruler, and a piece of grid paper they must do battle with 50+ multiple choice enemy questions.  Show no mercy because none will be shown to you.

The only thing left to do is pray for divine intervention.  And yes, I've already done that.  I even went out to Sam's Club, along with a teacher who happened to be a member (because they won't let me in), and purchased Pop-Tarts and bottles of juice to give them energy as they do battle with equations and lines.  Anything to give them an edge.

Oh, today is Mother's Day.  Happy mother's day mom.  Yes, I am the good son.

I enjoyed Star Trek.

Thought of the day: "Lord, give them clarity of mind, give them strength, give them clear memories, and Lord, if all else fails, give them the answers.  Amen."
