24 Oct 08: I went to visit the school I want to do my One-Day-Teaching project on. WOW, the Principal Mrs Perez was great.

I introduced my self and explained to her the purpose of my visit, she understood and no objections. She asked me which grade I preferred and I adviced her that I had no preferance, so she decided that I would be with Mrs Carrasquillo, the 10th grade English teacher.

I guess I caught her in a good mood, it was Parent-Teacher day, the students were getting their mid-term grades. It was great to she her, Mrs Perez in action, I experienced how she would stop every parent and asked them if they stopped by the table to get their letter concerning the law that talked about "No Child Left Behind". But what surprised me the most was the way she would speak to the parents.

I met Mrs Carrasquillo and explained to her my visit and she agreed to allow me to interact with her class. Now what surprised was that I saw a lot of computer equipment boxes that were unopened. Through our casual conversation she, Mrs Carrasquillo, explained to me that all of this equipment had been there for the last two years and nothing was ever installed. So, I asked her if she had any objections if I assisted her in installing the 15 plus computers that were still in boxes and she had no objections. It was agreed that I would go by the school on the 5th of November.
