Geometry

I don't know that I have enough questions to be considered "frequently 
asked" but...

1. Late work?
2. Borrowing calculators?
3. Make Up Tests?
4. Honors Classes?

Late work?

I will take late work, as long as it isn't just copied from a 
friend. It gets hard to keep up though, so I highly encourage not 
falling behind in the first place.

Borrowing calculators?

I personally have sevral graphing calculators I can loan out. I 
don't mind loaning them out over a weekend for an ACT/SAT exam, 
but normally I don't let students take them home to finish their 
daily work.

I also have a set of classroom calculators that are used daily. As 
such, they get a lot of use. So far, we haven't had a problem, 
but it's always better to have your own.

Make Up Tests?

I work with the student to find a time to make up tests. Tests 
are an assessment of student knowledge -did they retain what I 
taught them? So it is important to me that they be assessed, even 
if it's a week or two late, even if it takes more than one day, 
or even several days to finish it.

Honors Classes?

I teach an Honors Geometry class during the fall semester. This class
is open to Sophomores, and requires them to get an application from 
me at the end of their Freshman Spring Semester. Should a Sophomore 
choose to add Honors Geometry they can still talk to me the first 
week of school. These students will then take Honors Algebra II 
during the spring semester their Sophomore year -provided they 
maintain grades and have no discipline issues. They will then take 
Pre-Calculus their Junior Year, and are REQUIRED to take an 
additional math class their senior year. Graphing calculators are 
required for these classes, and additional work is expected of 
them. I also coordinate the other honors math programs, so see me 
if you have additional questions.
