This week…the Coastal Plains of Texas. For those of you Yankees, it is the region of Texas near the Gulf of Mexico. Did you know that it is the perfect place for farming as a result of its flat landscape and proximity to a water source? Yet, bet you didn’t and neither do my kids. After two days of teaching about transportation and comparing how things have changed since petroleum, they still seem to be stuck somewhere in their hormones. Today was the first day I snapped. I yelled at a class today for being rude, and then gave an impromptu quiz. I didn’t demean them, but those thoughts were definately running through my head and let me tell you, it is friggin hard to stay composed when you are relishing all the ways you could injure your bad student in your imagination.
How can this be an uphill battle? I thought Texas was flat?
