Saturday Six
1. If you had to fill in as a substitute teacher at a local middle school, what subject would you be most comfortable teaching? Teaching sign language not only because I'm fluent but also because I could hopefully make the lesson interesting to that difficult age group!

2. When you were in school, what was a better indication of your true understanding of what you were learning: class participation, the accuracy of your homework, or your test scores? Interesting question....probably the accuracy of my homework

3. You meet someone for the first time and have a brief conversation with them. If you run into them the next afternoon, how likely are you to remember their name? How embarrassing! It could go either way depending on my frame of mind the day I meet them!

4. Take the quiz: Do You Have Gaps in Your Knowledge?

There Are 0 Gaps in Your Knowledge

Where you have gaps in your knowledge: No Gaps! Where you don't have gaps in your knowledge: Philosophy Religion Economics Literature History Science Art

Do You Have Gaps in Your Knowledge?

5. If you had “gaps” in your knowledge, did you expect to have them where they were predicted? If you had none, which of the listed subjects would be the ones you’d most expect gaps to be? I would have expected them to be in the area of philosophy and art

6. If you could go back to school for one semester free of charge and “try again” with any subject, which one would you choose and why? Geometry--I never could "get" it and I sure would like to!
