First update in a LONG Time

I am SO sorry for the absolute lack of posts. I feel terrible.

I've been teaching at Albemarle High School for two weeks now. It's going a lot better than I thought it would. I like most of the students. There are a few that I don't like, and a few that I really like. The problem with this is when it comes to grading. They have only done two objective assessments since the school year began and so when I grade all of their work, I'm grading on about a 98% subjective basis. This can be bad for both the students I like and the students I don't like. For the ones I like, sometimes I can tell that I'm artificially putting their grades up; and for the ones I don't like...I usually make them have to be super specific in their answers in order to get the same credit I give to others for saying kind of general things.

I'm a terrible person.

I'll update more in the future, I promise.
