Honors: G Period got to review most of January 2006; the class was productive and efficient as it should be. What was learned today will be tested on your Regents so it was good that we could generalize on several topics.
In D Period, the aforementioned learning experience was prevented by several unprepared and completely apathetic students, today. That will not happen again, I GUARANTEE that; amazing how I had the same experience with my Regents class a day earlier. Obviously, some of you are not behaving like Honors students yet you are enjoying an Honors-weighted grade; that will be corrected.

Regents: we had our comprehensive "final" exam today. Use today's experience to gauge how well your preparation for the Regents is going; I definitely will.
Most of you have handed in fair to poor quality homework on the past two Regents. About six of you didn't hand in a Regents at all; that was a very poor decision on your part and will practically guarantee that you land in summer school as you continue to reject any last chances to improve in this class. Perhaps you will learn from this later in life. This sounds very Confucian but sometimes one must first fail in order to succeed later. I'd prefer that you try to succeed first and then have even greater success later.
