Ms Physics Teacher: Why Do I Need to Know This?

Scientific illiteracy is sweeping the world. One recent article I came across is from India.

Authorities are investigating reports that disabled children in India were buried up to their necks during this week's solar eclipse as a supposed remedy for their handicaps.

Officials said Thursday they were looking into reports that some 34 children aged 2 to 7 were buried in sand up to their chins -- with the consent of the parents -- in the belief that doing so during an eclipse would cure the children of their disabilities.
Let's go through the logical strain of reasoning of how a solar eclipse cures the disabled. Oh wait, there is no logic here. Kids stay in school

Employment!

Well, I've decided to take a big leap out of my native Ann Arbor. I got a job teaching in Gallup, New Mexico (2 hours west of Albuquerque). Perhaps, not a big surprise but it is a Catholic school, Gallup Catholic High. Only 125 students, which means I'll be teaching Chemistry, Biology, Physical Science, and Religion. Challenging, but should be a good experience. Everyone, I have meet so far has been really nice, and I will have some students from the Navajo Reservation. But I will have to learn to watch out for Rattlesnakes and venomous spiders!

Hope everyone's job search is going well, let me know where you are headed. And if you ever need a place to stop or stay while driving down Route 66 or I-40 let me know.

Career Fair

Another career fair for me. This is a third one now, I feel like I'm becoming a professional at navigating the train wreck that a career fair is. But today's fair is on a Tuesday, perhaps less people will shop up since it's a work day, but then again may be much more will show up because the school is out.

How is it going gang? Hows the job search for you?

Is anyone planning on visiting AA this summer? If so, when.

Okay, so I got it to work, good. No interviews yet.

For those biology people out there. There are thousands of resource websites, but here is one that I found useful when student teaching:
