This past wednesday, i had my last training session for Kaplan. I'm pretty
glad that it's over, because it took a lot of time, but im also glad that
i will be able to teach. the program i will be teaching is one in oakland,
at skyline high school (of gary payton fame, if im not mistaken). im not
exactly sure how it works, but i think the kids get to take the course for
free while the oakland school district pays for half, and kaplan covers
half. or something like that. anyway, it's a great program because these
kids wouldnt normally be able to afford kaplan testprep (or any sort of
testprep), but now they get the opportunity to. regardless of if the SAT
is a fair test or if it should be mandatory for college, kids have to take
it. and being able to prep for the SAT helps them. it's a great program, i
think. giving a chance to those who deserve it, but cant because of
circumstance and finance. another thing. i found out that my supervisor is
a christian-she goes to New Church in berkeley, a nondenominational
church. that's wonderful as well.
alright, im off to class. see you next time.
