Oh dear god Ohio!

[cornerofmadness]

So a study came out this week, only 28% of ALL Ohio students are ready for college when they get there. Not just my area, ALL of the damn state. They're basing this off ACT scores for better or worse. Now keep in mind a lot of schools allow skipping course work that isn't ACT related to spend more time on english/math. Of the 28%, only 35% of the students will pass a science course and it is not uncommon for them to never have had a high school science course. yeah my students have been demystified haven't they?


I had to go to an early morning meeting for lifelong learning which wasn't quite what I thought it was. It's an interesting idea, aiming for the retirees and offering a range of more fun courses (and often with travel. i.e. a short course on a civil war battle then a trip to the site, or art workshops with trips to the Guggenheim or something).It's an interesting idea and I'm glad to be involved in this. Look at me becoming both more marketable and big shoes to fill.

the OT put more kinesiotape on my arm. it's not good when you can sit and watch the edema flow under your skin...tired of pain.

Had a rough night. I had to go to bed early (didn't help) had the window open until the whatever it is I'm allergic to blew in and stuffed my face up. Closed that. had weird dreams but what I can remember is living in a rural setting with a friend and we both had abusive husbands. Our faces were covered with bruises. I was just sitting down to cannibalize him raw with her help when the alarm went off. WTF brain?





the harmonists did make wine, mostly for selling. The village still does wine tastings, naturally not when i'm home
