was there a reading quiz??
3:39 PM
Yes and he bumped them up to 20 points each because nobody decided to read...
4:25 PM
Haley,
Is that all you care about? Grades?!? What about historical knowledge? What about the War Hawks? The War of 1812? Tecumseh?
No.
4:27 PM
I learned about that kinda thing in psychology. Something about conditioning kids to care about grades, or the actual learning itself...
Caring about learning produced better grades than caring just about grades. The kids that were conditioned to care about grades eventually lost motivation. While learning in itself produces the good grades and this group of children was much better.
I am almost completely conditioned for grades... I caught my parents at the table tonight talking to my brother about school, and they didn't ask about what he learned they asked about his grades...
Blehhh

This is a great video, not to mention good info on the battle of New Orleans.

Haley,
I hope you know I was kidding in my response to you about a reading quiz today.
Kyle,
I feel you on the grades tip. It really discourages me to think that some parents only care about grades in lieu of content knowledge. I think it's why some students prefer to avoid IB classes because they fear the hit to their GPAs.
6:02 PM
I was actually going to drop all my IB classes for my junior year but I wanted to keep IB history because it's my favorite core-subject and I wanted to learn more than I could in regular U.S., even though I knew it would be hard. In most other classes (MATH) all I really care about is the grade but not for history.
I promise I am not being a suck-up.
7:16 PM
so im confused... did we or did we not have a reading quiz and was it 10 points or 20??
and to carlizle... yes that is all i care about! but this time i do care... so... what about those warhawks? and the war of 1812? what is that? and what is a tecumseh? is it sometype of chainsaw? lawnmower perhaps??
well see you tomorrow in class and if the reading quiz was about a tecumseh im set cuz i mow the lawn everyweek.
7:38 PM
Haley,
No reading quiz today. Get the notes from an amigo in class. We discussed those things in class today.
Nicole,
I didn't think you were sucking up. I can genuinely tell you like history. I wish we had weighted grades and plus/minus at THS. I think that would keep a lot more kids in IB.

With over 100 years in the small engine business, Tecumseh is the big company no one has heard about. Since the 1960's Tecumseh has been the leading private label manufacture of small engines and has grown to be the second largest manufacturer of small engines in North America. In the northern United States and Canada consumers know Tecumseh as the brand for powerful and reliable snow blower engines and depend on us for starting in even the most extreme conditions.
7:46 PM
No way! You beat me to it!
Tecumseh Products Company is a manufacturer of gasoline engines, hermetic compressors for air conditioning and refrigeration products, and power train components for lawn and garden applications, industrial pumps, and small electric motors.
Tecumseh products are sold in over 120 countries.
The Tecumseh corporate office is located in Tecumseh, Michigan
History is one of the few classes I really want, thats why I switched into it from regular... I'm soo burnt out on so many levels for so many subjects. History is chill though.
7:52 PM
go kyle
7:52 PM
Likewise.
Tecumseh, Kansas
Tecumseh, Michigan
Tecumseh, Missouri
Tecumseh, Nebraska
Tecumseh, Oklahoma
Tecumseh, Ontario
Tecumseh Township, Michigan
And Haley, reading quizzes are worth 20 points... Maybe...
8:00 PM
thank you kyle... idk if carlisle knew i was jk or if he thot i really didnt care, but i think that whole comment of mine was basically bs. and btw... karen... get off the computer and go watch t.v. with dad.
8:05 PM
Here's a fun history quiz for you to post on your myspace bulletins...http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/World/The-Curse-of-Tecumseh-229388.html.
I bet the curse of Tecumseh is going to be on the reading quiz. This is a warning to anyone who wants to get smart with a person who ALMOST got their minor in native american history and stuff...
8:07 PM
sorry about my mom... i never should have told her about the blog... now she will be on here more than any of us... no offense karen.
8:09 PM
Hahaha, alright. You probably didn't come to school cause you were working on your Tecumseh right? Man, when they get a bit old those reed valves just keep failing...
8:12 PM
Nope. our mower is a honda and it doesn't have a tecumseh engine...and she skipped mowing the lawn this weekend and made her poor mother do it.
Do you think Tecumseh was like the first union rep ever?
8:14 PM
Wait, Karen your mom?
hahahaha!
I mean, nice to meet you Mrs. Carlsson.
8:15 PM
Hmm good question, I will go ask James P. Hoffa
8:18 PM
I don't know who mrs carlsson is. anyway, just something I want to share, I think you should all read the front page article about North Korea in yesterday's Oregonian. I know you are US History students but it's still a worthwhile article.
8:24 PM
oh gosh... karen is mi madre (my mother) but her name is not carlsson, its sesnon. i know its complicated tho. can we bann her?? ;) jp mommy
8:33 PM
Sorry, Carlsson was just an educated guess...
8:35 PM
i know, thats what most people think. it makes more sense.
8:46 PM
OK ban me, but I did stay on topic...and I think I made you THINK. How'd you do on the trivia test?
I'll go back to myspace where it's safe. You can visit me there anytime.
10 minutes til Heros anyway...
8:50 PM
Hahaha, myspace isn't safe, there are predators on the loose, ten cuidado!
8:54 PM
This semester has seen many firsts on the blog, but tonight is the first time someone's MOM has ever posted a comment!! Welcome aboard Karen and keep on posting.
9:09 PM
no!!!! why do you encourage her??? she has two myspaces already! that should be enough to keep her busy, but no! she has to blogspot too! and she already has a profile!!! carlisle... (shakes head) oh carlisle.
9:12 PM
Haley,
That's awesome!!!!!!!!!! Two Myspace accounts?!? What does she do on the Internets?
You better READ! Quizzes are now worth 10 points.
9:19 PM
HAHAHAHA
9:20 PM
IB students should get 8 hours of sleep per night. Everyone log off now and go to bed. What do I do on Myspace? I read all Amy's bulletins and spy on my kids.
READ the article about North Korea!
10:09 PM
Just skip first period and sleep, then you can be ready for history 2rd/3rd, cause that is the only class that matters.
10:12 PM
