On Friday, I was sitting in the teacher's lounge 4th period. I was knitting beads. Another teacher walked in. She saw me knitting, and then she announced that she knew who I was.
This teacher taught two periods of CAHSEE English. So, she discussed how her students did on the CAHSEE on Tuesday. How well they thought they did. Was it hard? Did they think they passed?
Apparently, they wanted to talk about my pencil caddy.
One of the jobs of test proctor is to give students newly sharpened pencils when they need them. I hated carrying around the pencils, so I made a container. I wear it across my body, like a purse. I can pull out pencils at will.
Now, not one student commented upon my caddy to me. But the English teacher told me that students couldn't stop talking about my caddy in class.
I didn't realize I was that much of a distraction. All I wanted to do was make my proctoring time easier.
