Thursday we took the students over to the high school for a tour and lunch.
Because the high school is split into several smaller learning “communities,” it is an important morning for the kids to get a feel for where they might like to spend the next four years. They’ll have some say in whether they end up in the computer-intense school or the arts-focused one, for example.
It was fun to see teachers I had worked with back when I started the program but hard to imagine I once taught students this age … and ones without much of a dress code. They seem so hardened and mature compared to my little 8th-graders.
