Ginger, that's cool. I'm not a second guesser at all when it comes to testing. In Joy Luck Club one of the characters talks about how she plays chess -- she just sees the write move as if wind is moving across the board. I used to feel like that with tests.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

OH! I meant to add, one issue with my students is that they are major second guessers and they also rarely consciously make choices. So multiple choice is a lot of dithering for them. And their vocabs are atrocious.

Barb -- I'm morbidly interested in what's going on with She Who Must Not Be Named. Have you discussed details anywhere that I can see? I promise to hate her even more with the force of a thousand burning nuns. People like that to me are much like a car wreck is to rubbernecking motorists. Bonus points if I can righteously side with a friend....

Because books.
Wow, only four messages left.
I'm off to the farmer's market soon, too. I hope I don't blow away. It's gorgeous here, but the wind is insane.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Google and Gmail acting wonky for anyone else this morning?

Because books.
They've been okay for me, Cash.

The good news is that I'll be getting my new furnace installed on 11/10. The bad news is that it will be a cold November until then.

This Natter is dead. No more kicks for you; the route has ended. Please continue getting your natter on at the new thread "Natter 67: Overriding Vetoes" over yonder.
