Flex Days

I don't want to be accused of waxing rhapsodic about last year's batch of 11th graders. I don't even want to be accused of using a phrase like "waxing rhapsodic." But compared to my US History classes of last year, these students I have now seem like a bunch of yammering fools. And young! If I didn't know any better, I'd peg them as freshmen.

Maybe it's the fact that it's just the third week in August and we're nearing the end of the second week of school. Maybe it's because we just had our first flex days of the school year. Maybe I'm just out of practice. Whatever...except for one group in one class, my seniors are different.
