I'm giving midterms next week. Ask Mr. Uly anything!

[ulysses]

But ask it now, because I can't help you on Wednesday...

[JVS]

1. What is the subject?

[SOteric]

2. Mr. Uly...

Can I have a hug?

*sigh*

[ulysses]

6. of course!

:hug:

Now, did you bring your homework today?

[SOteric]

9. Yes, I did!

- Did you bring your gold stars?!

[ulysses]

10. gold stars are passe

The self-adhesive world has expanded well beyond gold stars, and while I've made a point of avoiding the commercialized stuff, the "dangerous sea creatures" stickers have been going like hotcakes. Care for a moray eel?

[damnraddem]

12. My dog ate my CD-Rom.

Will this be on the final?

[ulysses]

15. you'd better believe it.

The absence of the disc is no excuse. We're strictly a low-tech (no-tech, truth be told) classroom.

[ulysses]

3. math

first through roughly fifth grade. (It's a private school.)

:dunce: This was supposed to be a reply to #1.

[JVS]

5. Do you have a PhD in Math?

Edit: wait elementary stuff, since when do kids have midterms?

[ulysses]

8. no

It was half my undergrad major, though. And as I said, it's a private school - they switch classes every period, too.

[GOPisEvil]

4. Fill-in-the-blank? Short answer? Essay? True-False?

:D

[ulysses]

7. some matching

The rest is find-your-own-damned-answer. I'm mean. :evilgrin:

[damnraddem]

11. Why so late?

I've already graded all the midterms and handed them back.

Why won't the students read, or at least abide by, the instructions? It's their grades that suffer for it.

[ulysses]

13. it's a year-round school

Funky schedule.

[Lars39]

14. Pencils! How many should I have on top of my desk? #3's OK?

:)

[ulysses]

16. one.

And it'd better be a #2, dammit. :grr:

[Lars39]

17. You're sharp! Never could get away with the wrong-numbered pencil.

But we always had to have 2 pencils on our desktop, 'cause once the tests were passed out, we were not allowed to get up to look at Billy's paper on the way to the pencil sharpener. O8)

[ulysses]

18. Mr. Uly sharpens the pencils

(because the little dears tend to play with the stupid sharpener) and no headache-inducing #3s allowed past the door of my classroom. No headache-inducing purple dinosaurs either, much to the dismay of the youngest.

[Bronco69]

19. May I have all of the questions

in advance, please?

[ulysses]

20. sure.

Be advised, however, that Mr. Uly is fond of character-building through last-minute change. :)

[VOX]

21. If I take a bathroom break, will I automatically flunk?

Or should I bring a "relief tube?"

Best -- :toast:

[ulysses]

22. "depends" on how long you take.

Those who are fond of 30-minute bathroom trips are already on my shit list and know it. :)

[JVS]

23. What if the kid brings proof that she/he was pinching a loaf?

Is it Ok to be gone long then?

[ulysses]

24. it's ok if the student goes by the name Jean Valjean

Otherwise, I don't really want to know, and no. Gotta shit? Shit quickly.

[PVnRT]

25. Mr. Uly

What is the proper solution method to use for a partial differential equation with one finite boundary condition and one infintite one?

[ulysses]

26. I don't know.

I do, however, know your alter ego. Fucking Green Bay. :evilgrin:
