Dear Diary,
Came to Valsayn
with Kiel in the maxi. I was in the back. I ate my first pie and went up to the
music room. The children took too long to come over. Cleaning up the classroom,
Miss Roberts came walking in. She would not say thank you even when her
students messed it up. She wanted to know the key to a piece called “Struttin'
at the Waldorf” and asked for my opinion. It was very chromatic looking. I
suggested that it could have been either a mode or atonal as my best response.
This was 1F.
They too had a repeat of the class from 1M yesterday. Some of them struggled in
the instruments part of the exam and figuring out the pitches. Their test
papers too were returned. I had to give a very serious warning about cheating
and told them that the marks on the cheaters’ papers were also lies.
During recess,
‘Varry’ and ‘Burnie’ met me in the corridor. They wanted to get the worksheets
for the note tree credit assignments. I walked them down to my desk in the
office and handed them the worksheets. I took my double period off before
having 2F in the evening. I was not sure if ‘Yash’ was coming for a music
session today. With no sign of him, I went to the staffroom and waited a while.
They had football and I gave them some time to finish.
I entered 2F at
1:30 PM. I had two irregularities. It hurt me a lot to see that there were 13
cheaters. I awaited their papers for when I got home to see the horror. After
leaving the classroom, it made me fall to dump those papers in the bin. The
test was compromised by one student.
That evening I
got a ride from Mrs Santana since “Maria” wasn’t there that day. After grading
those papers at 9:30 PM, there was a lot of anger. Didn’t know if to pretend
that this was a practice test. 2M students were already messaging to see if
there would be a test for tomorrow because they had RI. The idea in my head was
to use this compromised task as a practice for the real one. I would just have
to go and make over another.
