day c: helicopting

ever wonder how people can just stand above you and hover and hover and hover and hover... yeah, me too....

today was just another day of observations, along with a wasted activity period. but i should say i researched a great deal into demons, finding out about the lesser keys of solomon and that the word "ba'al" is semitic equivalant to "yhwh"... also found astaroth, valefar, belial, paimon, etc... all of these demons form a new pantheon of gods for my world... especially since they seem to fill those roles that i have assigned them already... fun stuff...

i learned a few things form the students today:
i). freedom is tough: when given choices, the students will ask as many questions as possible because having the freedom to do what they want is really really scary to them apparently.  they can't really make choices, not when they will be tested on it.
ii). for some strange reason my second to last period is dead... i think i need to check teh pulse of the some of the students to make sure that they are still breathing, etc.  but my last period just won't shut up... that should be a fun experiment in patience on both ends of the spectrum.
iii). a student demands to placed where they want, not where they need... because who knows what they need, right? ... stupid helicopting parents...

take care until the next day.
