A Word About Posts

Hello, Everyone:

In going over some of the posts to the blog, I think it's important that we're all on the same page about what we should and should not be posting.

When you're posting, you are supposed to making comments on a question, or idea that's been given out to the group for discussion.

The blog really isn't supposed to be the place where you post questions like "can I hand in my homework tomorrow?" or "what's going to be on the test?" those type of questions are better left for the classroom, or for email. You can email me at MTessler@schools.nyc.gov for things like that.

Thanks, and happy posting!
