Talk a lot

Pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, talk a little
Cheep cheep cheep, talk a lot, pick a little more
{Three times}
Pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, talk a little
Cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep


It is so hard to get them remotely serious about studying for a midterm when they have just come back to school. I saw more phones than normal (they have gotten used to texting all the time and think I forgot that they are not supposed to) and they talk. All. The. Time.

Midterms can be sooner than they appear in your calendar.

I hate that finals are after Christmas in my new school. I am used to final exams being before Christmas and starting school in January with a blank slate.

I loved it the old way, but this way sucks. I agree, getting them to take the exams seriously is like pulling teeth.

Semesters should end before Christmas break. Kids are not in study mode when they first return. They are in social mode.
