The Good: Almost 40 of my students came out this Saturday for a CAHSEE review session in preparation for the exit test taking place this week. Although I philosophically view the exit test as a ridiculous penalty for students who are a result of inadequate school systems, I still want all my students to graduate. It was great to see them come out and put in some time on the weekend.
The Bad: The body of a man who is part of the Blocc Crips (who hang out across the street from the school) was found in the alley across the street from the school. I don't have many details on it yet, but regardless of his life choices, it still sucks.
Other News: I may have a chance to teach a technology class, still in South LA, but no longer down the street from my house. It is a very hard choice, because I want to teach the class, but I don't want to leave my school.
