It's hot now

Yesterday and today are boiling. Yesterday, I had the open house in summer school.That was 3 hrs. of cool. I talked to a lot of parents and students to get the to shell out 580. per child to attend classes, 1 hr, 4 days a week and then math too. I had one 8th grader that was taking geometry! She wanted to skip to 9th grade. I had her last yr. as a 6th grader. She's sharp, but 2 yrs. may be too much for her. We'll see.

I have 10 6th graders, 7, 7/8th graders and 2 seniors among the 8, 9-12th graders.
I'm going to push them hard and prep the older ones on the SAT as well. I ordered 1000. of books, 2 for each class from Amazon yesterday and 24 for another teacher. I hate selling them to the kids.
They are going to read Faulkner"s, The Sound and the Fury. I read Light in August in college and they say " It is not a book to read and enjoy." I remember that. vaguely. We'll do a Shakespeare play too. Most have read Romeo and Juliet so I'll have to pick another.
