Yesterday I horribly failed a test, well at least I hope I failed. I really didn't know anything about the subject matter. You see, the test was for people who want to short circuit the standard science teaching credentials program in California. Now I'm not one of those people, but the Man wouldn't let those people pass the test until they had at least 100 scores to normalize the test.

So, they brought in some ringers like me to set the bottom end of the curve. And I'd like to think that I did an bang-up job. One of my lesson plans (that counted for one third of the test), dealt with teaching an ADHD student. I decided the best way to serve this student would be to provide lots of different things going on at the same time. Afterwards, I found out that is apparently the exactly wrong answer. Score one for me!

Apparently, my "teaching foundations" could use some reinforcing.
