End of an Era?

 This weekend I was in West Palm Beach.

Teaching with a new instructor.

I had Bill as an observer last month.

This month he taught the first day and a half

(3 chapters) and I taught the final day and a half,

(3 chapters) and he administered and graded

the final exam.

We had a good sized class this month.

At one point we had 24 students.

Unfortunately the A/C in this particular room

isn't very reliable and it got really warm 

on Saturday morning.

So when the other folks left the office after

their team meeting, we moved the tables

and students out to the main big room.

(Where we nearly froze to death... lol.)

He did a pretty good job.

I gave him my manual yesterday with all my

notes in it so he can continue learning the

material. I needed to break into his lecture

several (ok, many) times to correct information

he didn't have a clear understanding about.

Hopefully this will help him out.

Next month my job is as observer ONLY.

(Unless there is something I really need to correct...)

My boss is also going to swing by for a couple

hours to observe.

(My boss, Dan, REALLY didn't want to hire

him - he used to teach in New York and didn't

get a good recommendation from his supervisor

up there, but he's kind of being forced to hire him...

which of course didn't make him very happy...

so we are really running him through his paces.)

Anyhow.

Yesterday was supposed to be my final

LIVE CLASS teaching.

Except when I talked with Dan this morning

he asked me to sub on the 23rd back down

in South Florida... Sure!

(Except I gave away my book... lol.)

I'll just use a student manual.

Anyhow.

I came home this morning with a kind of

scratchy, dry throat. I stopped at the

local Tractor Supply on my way into town

and picked up some Ivermectin... I've been

taking lots of Vitamins, 

hopefully this is nothing.

I have to teach again tonight.

Glad to be home.
