When you get to the STOP sign, you have come to end of this session. Finally, we got to the last STOP sign this afternoon and we are done with FCAT. Well, 7th grade is done - 6th and 8th have a little more to complete. So, tomorrow we'll take a little break and do something that is educational but not strenuous. Then, we'll get back to the business of learning Math. Sadly, at least five of my students will say to me, "Why do we have to do this? FCAT is over!". We seem to be to the point in school where students think that the only reason they learn things is for FCAT and not because the LEARNING is actually important. But, I will keep on teaching and pulling them along in the hopes that someday at least a few of them will look back and realize that they learned math that they are using in their adult lives.
