A
Good
morning,
everybody
wake
up
and
welcome
to
the
May
principal's
coffee
and
thank
you
very
much
to
Jen
and
Kelly
for
being
here
to
do
the
budget
presentation
I
want
to
thank,
as
always
all,
of
our
Board
of
Education
members
who
are
here
who
take
the
time
to
come
to
all
of
these
principles.
Coffees
I
know
that
there's
four
of
them
and
really
appreciate
you
being
here
also
want
to
just
say
thank
you
to
the
PTSA
members
who
are
here
and
also
the
members
of
the
pagf.
A
B
A
Well,
so
we're
looking
forward
to
that
and
again
the
bheef.
The
fiesta
is
coming
up
on
Cinco
de
Mayo,
so
we
have
see
and
it's
at
Tamarack
Country
Club.
So
why
don't
just
welcome
all
parents
here
and
thank
you
very
much
again
for
coming
in.
We
have
a
schedule
today
where
Kelly
and
Jen
are
going
to
go
over
the
budget
presentation
for
this
year
and
then
originally
we
had
Jen
Laden
scheduled
to
do
the
Seal
of
Civic
Readiness.
A
She
is
actually
in
global
Scholars,
defenses
sort
of
limbo
right
now,
so
she's
going
to
be
coming
back
in
May
to
go
over
that,
but
we
do
have
Dwayne
Smith
coming
in
and
we're
going
to
go
over
chat
GPT
as
we're
experiencing
it
here
in
the
high
school
and
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
about
it
and
maybe
what
you
might
be
thinking
about
as
a
parent
and
how
how
those
conversations
might
be
going
with
your
children
so
very
excited
to
have
you
here
in
April
thinking
about
May
and
we're
almost
there.
A
So
we
do
have
cookies
for
you
over
there
today
that
as
well
so
help
yourself
as
we
go.
All
right
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Jen
and
Kelly
and
I'll
get
this
set
up
for
you
so
that
you
can
get
going.
C
B
C
Is
important
and
I
know
when,
when
we
see
a
low
turnout,
we
think
that
it
is
parent
confidence?
It's
not
that
you
know.
We
think
everybody
should
swarm
to
the
budget
meetings.
There
are
a
multitude
of
opportunities
for
you
to
learn
about
the
budget,
but
I'm
so
grateful
that
you're
here
today,
any
parents
of
freshmen
or
sophomore
boys.
C
Okay,
so
we
have
a
new
parent
to
the
district.
You
may
want
to
introduce
yourself
it's
a
nice
community,
so.
B
C
Should
not
want
to
feel
that
way
right,
okay,
so
we
are
starting
with
our
proposed
budget.
I
would
like
to
also
say
that
we
have
two
Board
of
Education
seats,
two
trustee
seats
that
will
be
open
and
the
petition
date
to
turn
in
a
petition
to
vote
to
buy,
for
those
seats
has
passed,
and
our
two
incumbents
who
happen
to
be
here
today:
Lori
canner
and
Lara,
stangle,
President
and
Vice
President
of
the
Board
of
Education
are
running
again.
C
So
we're
going
to
start
with
our
budget,
our
proposed
budget,
which
was
adopted
by
the
Board
of
Education
99
725
037.
That's
a
2.87
budget
to
budget
increase.
You
know
that
we've
had
a
pretty
big
increase
in
enrollment
in
the
Elementary
grades
we
have
Staffing
commensurate
with
that
enrollment.
We
have
also
been
very
careful
over
the
last
decade
or
so
of
remaining
very
much
below
the
tax
cap,
because
we
knew
we
didn't
need
to
spend
that
money.
D
C
My
math
right
check
to
make
sure
did
I
get
every
kid
from
my
memory
who
had
all
of
these
accolades
this
year
for
science,
research
I
mean
you
think
about
our
programs.
It
started
there
for
us.
We
developed
the
global
Scholars
Program
that
great
three-year
program
dealing
with
World
issues
we
developed
startup,
which
is
that
two-year
program.
All
of
this,
with
help
from
the
Byron
Hills
Education
Foundation,
really
supporting
not
just
our
facilities,
but
our
programs,
and
we
get
to
keep
those
programs
and
services
in
place
in
our
budget.
C
Of
course,
all
the
state
and
federal
and
mandated
programs.
Our
athletic
programs
are
off
the
charts.
I,
don't
know
if
anybody's
seen
girls
flag
football
right.
We
also
have
for
our
special
class
at
the
high
school.
They
were
doing
basketball
last
year
and
now
they
also
have
bowling.
So
the
Au
sports
are
also
picking
up
our
extracurricular
programs
remain.
We
love
seeing
kids
in
school
after
school.
We
like
having
them
feel
part
of
this
community
and
getting
involved,
and
really
they
could
jump
into
these
extracurriculars,
with
the
exception
of
Sports.
At
any
time,.
F
Required
to
present
their
budget
with
three
components-
program,
Capital,
administrative,
larger
largest
component-
is
a
program.
Essentially
anybody,
instructional
staff.
Anybody
that's,
has
direct
interaction
with
students,
your
teachers,
your
teacher,
psychologist
guidance,
even
your
bus
drivers,
so
it's
salary,
the
benefits,
the
equipment,
supplies
of
those
individuals,
that's
73
program.
Next
biggest
category
is
a
capital,
that's
15!
That's
your
staff
and
custodial
and
maintenance.
It's
your
debt
service,
your
utility
costs,
your
insurance,
so
anything
associated
with
their
billing
buildings.
The
facilities
upkeep.
The
maintenance
is
a
capital
expense.
C
And
that
is
super
important
to
me
because
of
our
capital
and
our
ability
to
have
our
in-house
plumber
and
electrician
Etc,
and
also
putting
that
money
toward
Capital.
We
have
been
able
to
do
things
like
repair
our
roofs
get
a
roof.
Roofs,
yes,
get
a
generator
in
every
single
building,
put
air
conditioning
in
our
buildings,
replace
a
half
a
million
dollar
water
pipe
at
Coleman
Hill
that
crosses
the
road.
All
of
these
things
are
happening
without
us
having
to
go
after
a
bond.
C
Now
of
that
capital
of
that
15
million
dollars,
we
have
2.5
million
dollars
that
we
are
still
paying
for
an
expansion
on
our
schools
28
years
ago,
I
mean
so
so
this
when
you
go
out
for
a
bond
that
Bond
lasts
Generations
thereafter,
and
even
though
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
benefit
of
being
able
to
write
off
that
money.
Sort
of
like
having
a
mortgage
I'm
sure
that
the
amount
of
debt
incurred
on
that
Bond
over
30
years
outweighs
the
good
of
being
able
to
report
it
so
I'm
happy
that
we.
F
And
then
finally,
administrative
11.8,
that's
anything
any
anybody,
that's
a
supervisor,
our
administrative
oversight
of
students
or
staff.
So
that's
our.
F
F
Right:
here's
a
little
breakdown
in
terms
of
expenses,
any
school
district,
the
majority
of
your
expenses
and
your
salary
and
benefits
of
your
staff
is
usually
between
75
and
80,
we're
at
79.1
percent
for
this
year.
Second,
big
category
is
contractual
service
is
14,
so
anything
we
can't
do
in-house.
We
need
somebody
to
come
in
and
either
fix
something
or
provide
a
service.
Boces.
F
That's
14
contractual
Services
debt,
Services,
we're
speaking
about
2.6
percent.
That's
our
debt
service
payment.
We.
F
Point
yes,
there's
a
lot
of
school
districts
do
and
then
2.5
supplies
and
equipment.
The
maintenance
projects
with
Jim
was
speaking
about.
Every
year
we
have
a
mountain
to
budget,
to
do
simple
repairs
for
our
buildings,
whether
we
replace
boiler
a
section
of
a
roof
and
that's
what
Jen
was
speaking
about.
Other
districts
will
defer
the
maintenance
of
their
building
because.
F
A
F
C
F
I'm,
getting
there
Kevin,
it's
good,
I
told
you,
you
can
do
it
in
terms
of
how
it's
paid
for
the
revenue
side.
Unfortunately,
we
only
receive
five
percent
state
aid.
The
majority
of
our
Revenue
comes
from
work,
the
property
taxes
at
88,
two
percent.
In
terms
of
our
pilot,
the
pilot
is
a
paid
medical
taxes
really
quickly.
What
that
is,
is
a
company
fills
they're
over
assessed
or
their
tax
value
is
too
high.
F
F
Income,
no
really
large
increases
or
decreases
over
that
five
year
period:
four
percent
in
terms
of
fund
balance,
Appropriations
from
reserves
and
fund
balance
and
then
finally,
one
percent
of
the
revenue.
That's.
B
F
C
Let
me
explain
that
in
layman's
terms,
sure
so
the
real
property
tax
is
tax
levy,
that's
the
amount
of
increase
that
is
going
out
to
the
taxpayers.
So,
even
though
we
have
a
2.87
budget
to
budget
increase,
the
amount
that's
going
out
to
the
taxpayers
is
an
increase
of
1.93,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
other
financials.
F
Again,
payment
of
little
taxes,
there's
a
decrease
of
seven
percent
decrease,
that's
just
the
decrease
in
IBM
and
Eagle
Urban
172
000.,
all
the
revenue.
That's
at
one
percent.
It's
increasing
14,
150,
000,
again
increase
in
County
sales
tax
and
interest
earnings,
we're
receiving
stating
a
14
increase.
Really
that's
just
a
an
increase
in
our
our
ratio
for
tax
I'm.
Sorry,
Transportation.
F
F
F
C
F
C
C
Even
when
we
had
a
zero
percent
budget
budget
increase,
we
were
still
seeing
an
increase
in
the
taxes,
and
that
is
because
at
that
particular
year,
houses
in
Pleasantville
were
selling
for
more
than
in
other
years,
so
their
assessed
value
is
going
up,
which
means
that
they
pay
a
larger
portion
of
the
taxes.
So
the
good
news
is
when
the
assessed
value
of
your
home
is
high.
C
So
if
you
look
at
Mount
Pleasant,
for
example,
if
you
follow
it
along
at
one
point,
it
was
1.072
1.3,
1.1
right,
you
get
all
the
way
over
there
and
then
finally,
a
Mount
Pleasant
reduction
for
the
first
time,
and
then
you
see
Bedford
8.34,
that's
going
to
be
the
40
houses
that
we
have
in
Bedford,
a
2.82
in
Newcastle
and
2.61.
C
A
B
F
I
have
just
a
ship
didn't
really
have
take
a
look
at
1560..
You
know
again,
these
are
about
3D
properties.
Together,
you
have
a
couple
three
four
properties
that
sell
higher
than
their
assessed
value
tax.
What
about
you?
Don't
really
shift
your
total
in
terms
of
your
tax
rate,
the
more
of
the
weather
you're
going
to
take,
so
your
12
increase
here,
the
SE,
smaller
property,
wise
in
terms
of
districts
of
minor
Miller,
Properties
environmentals
that
can
really
ship
them
up
and
down,
depending
on
the
assessed
value
down.
F
Decreasing
assessed
value
in
these
three
years
here,
whereas
Mount
Pleasant
has
kind
of
been
kind
of
been
pretty
consistent
in
their
suspect,
so
really
that
that
increase
in
the
weather.
You
went
from
North
Castle
to
Mount
Pleasant.
Oh
there
we
go
again
said
it
very
well.
This
year,
town
of
North,
Castle
success,
values,
really
increase.
Okay,
Mount.
F
C
C
Fortunately,
the
increase
is
spread
across
the
most
number
of
houses.
I
know
that
doesn't
sound
appealing,
but
we
do
like
for
there
to
be
some
lower
increases
wherever
we
can
find
them
and.
A
A
C
Mind
I
think
it
was
two
years
ago:
I,
don't
remember
what
the
year
was.
I
could
look
at
Mount
Pleasant
when
we
had
the
zero
percent.
C
Oh
yeah
yeah,
yeah,
okay,
so
we
had
the
tax
levy
increase
of
one
percent
right,
so
we
were
looking
at
a
zero
percent
budget
to
budget
increase
and
I
looked
at.
How
much
does
a
Pleasantville
home
pay
for
taxes
for
Byron,
males
versus
somebody
who
lives
in
Pleasantville
and
goes
to
Pleasantville
schools,
and
what
we
found
was
that
the
taxes
were
lower
for
somebody,
even
though
we
had
increases
in
the
taxes
all
at
that
time,
they
were
still
lower
for
somebody
living
in
Pleasantville
coming
to
Byram.
B
C
Just
want
you
to
know,
we
spend
a
lot
of
time
looking
at
your
taxes,
because
it
matters
to
us,
and
we
appreciate
that
that
you
are
paying
88
of
a
tax
burden
where
a
lot
of
other
districts
that
can't
afford
to
pay
that
aren't
paying
that
and
they're
getting
Foundation
Aid
of
the
Wazoo,
which
we
are
not
understandably.
But
we
just
want
you
to
know
that
we're
trying
to
manage
those
businesses
yeah.
C
Yep,
so
I
did
so
so
what
we
have
is
a
maximum
allowable
tax
levy
in
the
First
Column.
That's
the
maximum,
based
upon
all
of
the
formulas
that
we
are
allowed
to
go
out
and
tax
the
community.
So
if
you
take
a
look
up
until
this
year,
which
it's
1.93,
so
if
you
look
at
how
in
2018-19
it
was
4.59
maximum
allowable
tax
levy
right,
it
varies.
According
to
a
year,
it's
1.93
budget
to
budget
right,
I
mean
Tax
Liberty
that
we
are
going
to
the
limit
of
that's.
B
C
To
be
the
first
time
since
2012
that
we
are
actually
going
to
the
tax
levy
limit,
we're
not
exceeding
it.
That's
the
point
where
we
have
to
get
worry
about
different
votes
out
in
the
community,
but
we
are.
It
is
a
smaller
number
at
1.93,
but
I
just
want
you
to
look
at
just
for
voter
confidence
in
the
right
hand,
column
each
of
those
years,
920
000,
1.3
million.
You
know
whatever
it
is,
that's
what
we
could
have
taxed
and
did
not
because
we're
being
responsible
to
you
as
our
community
taxpayers,.
C
And
our
enrollment
booming,
which
is
great
and
we
do
have
capacity
to
I,
think
we
have
about
600
students
less
than
we
had
when
we
were
at
our
maximum,
but
we
are
growing
and
those
Early
Elementary
grades
have
10
sections
right
as
opposed
to
some
of
the
eight
sections
or
seven
sections
that
you
see
throughout
so
keep
in
mind.
27
28
these
little
children
aren't
born
yet
so
this
demographer
is
doing
the
best
job
that
they
can
but
they're
pretty
accurate
for
us,
mostly
so
we're
looking
at
23
24
of
2
349
students.
C
Seniors
really
paved
the
way
for
what
students
need.
We
care
about.
Listening
to
student
voice,
we
care
about
listening
to
parent
voice
and
that's
how
we
develop
programs
that
our
kids
need
and
I
would
like
you
to
go
to
our
website
for
curriculum
and
instruction
and
academic
departments
to
see
the
work
we're
doing
and
on
our
website,
a
special
recognition
document,
which
is
absolutely
fantastic
and
covers
the
district
in
total.
As
to
everything
that
we
are
working
on
and
achievements
of,
our
students
think
that
that
is
it
so
I
have
to
say.
C
That
is
what
the
ballot
looks
like
that's
for
the
budget
and
then
the
back
will
have
our
two
incumbents
Lara
stangle
and
Lori
canner.
If
you
wish
to
cast
your
vote
and
they
are
going
to
be
doing
curbside
PTSA.
Thank
you
so
much
so.
Parents
who
want
to
just
drive
up
and
leave
your
children
in
the
car
you
can
do
so,
which
is
helpful.
H
C
These
kids
to
school
on
time,
you
will
receive
this
in
the
mail.
This
is
our
budget
brochure,
the
bottom
right
hand,
side
the
School
District
budget
notice.
That
should
be
exactly
the
same
for
every
single
School
District.
It's
a
requirement
to
set
it
up
that
way,
and
then
we
go
into
an
explanation
and
some
q.
A
about
voting
so
I
encourage
you
to
vote.
We
have
about
over
11
000
potential
voters,
environmentals
and
sometimes
on
years
like
this,
without
like
a
contested
election
or
something
we
might
get,
400
people
come
out
to
vote.
C
So
we
appreciate
anybody
who
can
come
out
and
share
their
voice.
E
I
You're
pretty
thorough,
thank
you
both
so
much
and
thank
you
to
the
district
for
all
the
work
that
goes
into.
This
is
It's
a
Herculean
task
and
you
always
are
all
mindful
of
keeping
all
of
our
programming
and
being
mindful
of
the
incoming
classes
and
and
I
know.
The
Administration
has
to
come
together
the
budgets
for
each
school
and
it's
just
very,
very
grateful.
Yeah.
A
B
A
All
right
so
I'm
gonna
switch
gears
and
we're
gonna
talk
about
more
theoretical
things
that
we're
seeing
in
education
just
in
general.
So
back
in
the
fall,
Mr
August
came
in
and
said:
oh,
have
you
been
on
chat
gbt
yet
and
I'm
like
I,
have
no
idea
what
that
was.
It
felt
like
my
father
technology,
so
he
described
it
to
me
and
I
was
a
little
reluctant
to
believe
in
the
power
that
it
had,
but
then
I
watched
it
did
some
things
on
it
and
blew
my
mind.
A
I
asked
chat
gbt
to
write
a
graduation
speech
as
the
principal
of
Byram
Hills
High
School,
and
it
spit
it
right
out
and
I
spoke.
You
know,
I
read
the
speech
to
my
son
and
he
said
that
sounds
like
you
Dad,
and
it
really
was
kind
of
mind-blowing
to
me.
So
the
chart
gbt,
basically
what
it
is.
It's
artificial
intelligence.
A
So
one
thing
that
computer
science
people
will
use
is
this
thing
called
the
Turing
test
and
it's
named
after
Alan
Turing,
who
described
the
way
that
machines
were
becoming
intelligent
and
the
real
test
to
see
whether
they
were
intelligent
is
whether
you
could
have
a
conversation
with
them
and
if
you
would
know
the
difference
between
speaking
to
a
machine
or
a
human.
So
at
this
point
we're
we're
sort
of
in
that
world,
where
machines
are
almost
more
intelligent
in
certain
ways
than
humans
are
I,
was
reading
an
article
this
last
weekend.
A
This
is
not
just
in
language.
It's
in
art,
it's
in
finance.
It's
in
gaming.
It's
in
every
aspect
of
Society.
The
person
who
won
I
think
it
was
Sony
has
a
huge
photo
contest.
The
winner
did
it
all
through
through
artificial
intelligence.
One
didn't
didn't
say
that
it
was
artificial
intelligence
and
then
only
after
said
by
the
way,
that
was
artificial
intelligence
that
wasn't
a
real
photo
so
we're
seeing
it
start
to
creep
into
a
lot
of
different
areas
of
of
our
world.
A
A
Aspect
but
there's
also
an
excitement
too
now
I
mentioned
my.
My
youngest
is
six
years
old
today
and
she's
getting
a
a
new
bike
with
tricycle,
with
training
wheels
on
it
and
we're
gonna,
hopefully
get
her
riding
the
bike
on
two
wheels
by
the
end
of
the
summer
and
then
later
on,
she'll
go
into
a
10
speed
and
then,
who
knows,
but
what
I?
A
B
A
You
can
go
driving
up
and
down
the
road
from
where
I
am
because
I
I
do
feel
like
I
know.
The
basics
My
worry
is
that
we
would
allow
kids
to
utilize
these
artificial
intelligences
in
ways
where
they
weren't
able
to
develop
those
basic
skills.
A
Yet
so
we're
entering
into
this
conversation
and
you're
part
of
it
and
I
invited
Mr
Smith
here,
because
a
lot
of
what
we're
seeing
here
in
the
schools
seems
to
hit
hit
in
his
Department
more
than
any
others
right
now,
right
off
the
bat,
so
he's
been
working
with
his
teachers
and
with
his
students
and
we're
going
to
just
go
over
sort
of
what
we
see
here
in
general.
We'll
take
your
questions
and
we'll
try
to
just
start.
A
A
However,
we
still
know
that
kids
are
coming
in
they're
learning,
they're
doing
all
the
things
that
they
used
to
do,
but
we
know
that
we're
hearing
from
people
applying
to
colleges
that
chat
GPT
is
now
the
number
two
source
of
college
essays
other
than
you
know
the
the
a
lot
of
the
help
that
people
will
get
with
their
private
private
counselors.
But
we
know
that
colleges
are
coming
back
to
us
and
saying
that
they
they
are
looking
at
ways
to
eliminate
the
possibility
of
computer
generated
essays.
A
We
know
that
there
are
college
professors
that
are
telling
their
kids
if
you're,
not
using
GPT
on
this
assignment,
then
you're
going
to
get
a
failing
grade.
So
we
see
that
it
runs
this
huge
spectrum
of
acceptance
and
excitement
and
utter
fear,
and
so
where
we
are
at
Byron
Hills,
because
we
do
have
the
community
that
can
enter
into
these
conversations.
We
have
faculty
who
are
really
adamant
about
understanding
it.
C
So
I've
been
working
with
a
Byron
Hills
retiree
on
the
history
of
firefills,
so
the
assistant
principal
threw
into
chat.
Gpt
can
I
have
an
introduction
to
a
book
about
the
history
of
Byron
Hills
from
the
superintendent.
Now
you've
all
read
a
lot
of
my
writing
right.
So
it's
with
great
pleasure
I
introduced
this
book
about
the
history
of
the
Byron
Hill
School
District,
as
superintendent
I've
been
fortunate
to
witness
firsthand
the
incredible
growth
and
transformation
of
our
district
over
the
years.
From
humble
beginnings
to
a
thriving
community
of
learners.
C
How
about
this
throughout
the
book
you'll
learn
about
the
challenges
and
opportunities
that
have
shaped
iron
pills
into
the
exceptional
School
District
it
is
today
you
will
discover
how
we
adapted
and
evolved
in
response
to
changing
needs
and
circumstances,
wait
and
then
the
end
I
hope
you
find
this
book
to
be
informative,
engaging
and
reflective
of
the
wonderful
Community
we've
created
together.
Thank
you.
C
H
A
So,
just
as
a
way
that
we
won't
go
over
all
of
these
links
here,
these
are
from
Andrew
Taylor
who's,
our
director
of
technology
and
is
really
at
the
Forefront
of
this
as
well.
I
put
this
Resource
page
up
there
and
I'll
include
it
when
I
send
it
out.
A
If
you
want
to
go
down
the
rabbit
hole
one
night
and
just
click
on
those
links,
your
mind
will
will
be
blown
so
I'm
going
to
send
that
off
when
I
blast
it
out
to
the
piano
okay,
so
I'm
gonna
invite
Dwayne
up
now,
who
is
our
English
chair
and
to
just
where,
where
the
rubber
is
hitting
the
road
right
now
with
this
is
really
in
the
English
Department
and
he's
going
to
go
over
sort
of
some
of
the
things
that
they've
been
working
on
to
support
students,
understand
the
technology
and
help
our
kids
go
from
training
wheels
to
Kawasakis.
D
Jen
I
will
tell
you
with
the
history
of
Iron.
Hills
I
did
take
the
liberty
of
asking
Chad
chipotina.
This
was
two
months
ago,
so
it's
probably
improved
measurably
since
then,
but
I
asked
for
a
list
of
famous
alumni
graduated
from
the
school
and
probably
about
nine
out
of
ten
were
completely
wrong.
Oh
really,
Reese
Witherspoon,
apparently
graduated
from
here
I,
don't
know
I
expected
to
see
David
Harbor.
You
know
I
expected
to
see
Laura.
A
D
I'm
I've
been
here
since
1998,
so
just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
perspective
at
the
time
we
were
using
Lotus.
Okay,
so
I
remember
coming
in
here
thinking
what
the
heck
is
lotus.
You
know,
I
was
using
I,
think
Microsoft
Word
in
my
home
life
at
the
time
and
Lotus
didn't
make
any
sense
to
me.
You
know
we
had
just
come
from
the
browser
Wars
between
Netscape
and
Internet
Explorer.
D
So
this
is
again
me
dating
myself,
but
it's
like
that
was
what
was
really
fascinating
to
people
in
the
tech
world
at
the
time
and
over
that
time,
I,
probably
in
my
department,
had
numerous
conversations
about
how
things
like
spell
check
are
going
to
affect
students
and
how
they
learn
to
write,
how
grammar
checks
when
those
started
to
become
more
popular
and
have
grammarly,
which
we
actually
used
with
our
students
on
a
regular
basis,
how
those
are
going
to
affect
writing,
and
it
seems
like
with
every
single
new
invention
or
technological
advancement,
we're
constantly
asking
ourselves
the
same
question
so
I'm
an
eternal
optimist,
I'm
also
a
tech
junkie,
so
as
an
English
chairperson,
I
use
technology.
D
All
the
time
I
I
find
it
to
be
very
beneficial
for
the
students
for
me
and
I'm,
always
looking
for
ways
to
Hope.
We
make
the
classroom
a
better
experience
for
students
and
prepare
them
for
what
they're
going
to
see
when
they
get
out
of
our
schools,
which
is
why
it's
important
to
know
what
colleges
are
doing
with
chat
GPT
at
the
moment.
So.
D
That
you're
going
to
see
right
now
just
is
a
little
bit
of
an
intro,
so
Chris
covered
some
of
this,
but
I
want
to
give
you
a
sense
of
how
we're
thinking
about
this
as
a
department
and
what
it
means
for
the
work
that
students
are
going
to
be
doing.
So
you
probably
if
you
have
played
around
with
it,
you've,
seen
this
home
screen
for
jet
GPT.
If
you
are
also
interested
in
it
at
this
point,
and
you
have
Snapchat,
you
may
have
already
had
conversations
with
your
own
AI.
D
If
you
have
a
Snapchat
account,
I
know
that
the
students
are
actually
just
mesmerized
by
this
right
now
they
have
their
own
friend
that
lives
in
their
Snapchat,
app
with
whom
they
can
have
conversations
and
real
life
back
and
forth.
Text
messages
and
exchanges
comes
with
an
avatar.
It's
an
amazing
thing:
I
was
speaking
with
a
friend
of
mine,
the
other
night,
who
was
worried
that
her
son
was
actually
getting
romantically
involved,
so
I'm
sure
there
will
be
films
about
this.
At
some
point,
it's.
D
D
If
you
just
type
in
a
word,
you
know
like
Byram
Hills
into
Google
you're,
going
to
get
a
lot
of
information,
and
it
may
not
be
what
you
want,
and
so
the
emphasis
now
on
being
able
to
have
a
conversation
back
and
forth
with
the
chatbot
to
be
able
to
drill
down
and
really
get
exactly
what
you're?
Looking
for
that's
what
this
is
going
to
be
all
about
so
yeah
it
can
give
you
information
that
can
easily
be
looked
up
online.
D
This
is
just
a
search
that
I
did
for
themes
and
Raisin
in
the
Sun
and
as
somebody
who
just
taught
that
play
this
year.
Okay,
here's
some
of
the
themes
that
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
and
they're
all
accurate.
These
are
all
the
themes
that
we
discussed:
everything
from
dreams
and
racial
discrimination
and
family
and
Community
economic
struggle
for
a
student
who
might
struggle
all
this
is
a
great
starting
point,
for
instance,
for
them
just
to
get
a
little
bit
of
an
introduction
into
what
they're
about
to
read.
D
So,
in
my
mind,
nothing,
you
know
nothing
harmful
in
doing
that.
If
I
go
through
this,
then
the
one
thing
I
do
want
you
to
know
is
Google,
of
course,
waited.
They
chat.
Gpt
was
actually
funded
by
Microsoft.
So
one
of
the
things
to
know
in
the
background
is
that
part
of
what's
going
to
be
happening,
is
that
Microsoft
is
going
to
start
to
integrate
some
of
these
features
into
the
software
that
it
currently
has.
D
So
in
word,
for
instance,
you
can
start
to
have
a
chat
bot
that
you're
going
to
be
able
to
respond
back
and
forth
with
to
help.
You
then
create
a
template
for
whatever
you're
working
on
and
it'll
spit
it
right
out
for
you
Google
put
out
Bard.
This
is
actually
a
screenshot
of
you
know
what
they
were
doing
with
theirs
planning
a
trip
for
an
anniversary.
Give
me
some
places
where
I
can
go
that
are
within
a
three-hour
flight
from
London
Heathrow,
eventually,
because
this
will
get
smarter.
D
What
will
happen,
of
course,
is
you'll
not
only
have
the
places
but
it'll
have
the
capacity
to
book,
for
you,
they'll
have
the
capacity
to
do
some
of
those
kinds
of
things.
This
changing
our
lives
before
we
even
you
know,
know
how
to
process
it
in
some
ways.
Now
there
are
limitations.
This
is
from
the
chat,
TPT
screen.
It
can
give
you
incorrect
information
case
in
point.
The
Byron
Mills
graduates
who
didn't
actually
graduate
from
here.
It
can
produce
harmful
instructions
or
biased
content.
That's
been
a
concern.
D
I've
seen
numerous
articles
about
the
content
itself
being
biased
and
also
it's
limited
in
terms
of
its
knowledge.
Now,
all
of
that's
going
to
change
right
now.
The
free
version
is
chat,
gpt3,
which
is
a
step
above
what
we
typically
use
when
we
have
autocorrect
on
our
emails
and
the
way
it
works
is
it's
looking
for
what
is
going
to
be
the
next
most
likely
word
in
whatever
you're
typing,
so.
D
Emails
in
Google's
very
good
at
this
right
now
it
can
finish
your
sentences
for
you.
This
becomes,
you
know,
obviously
exponentially
more
powerful,
because
now,
not
only
can
you
finish
sentences,
it
can
predict
where
you're
going
to
go
in
the
next
paragraph,
the
next
five
paragraphs
and
give
you
everything
that
you
want
in
a
second
or
two.
So
all
of
this
is
going
to
change
I'm
sure
the
events
after
2021
will
start
to
be
be
updated
and,
as
that
gets
updated,
then
you're
going
to
see
an
even
more
powerful
tool.
Fourth,.
D
Can
be
yours,
the
outlines
and
templates
I
was
thinking
about.
How
might
I
use
this
for
either
my
own
use
for
student
use
I
could
come
in
and
say
create
a
template
for
an
opposite
argument.
Essay.
My
students
in
ninth
grade
are
actually
starting
their
opposite
argument
essay
this
week
and
here's
a
template
that
can
be
put
together
with
intros,
and
you
know
that
old
Roman
numeral
outlines
that
we
used
to
use.
So
all
that's
there.
D
I
could
probably
take
that
and
you
know
send
that
to
a
student
by
email
if
a
student's
struggling
with
how
to
outline
I
could
probably
tweak
it
a
little
bit
for
myself.
So
I
can
meet
the
needs
of
my
paper
and
what
I
want
students
to
do,
but
I
will
say
that
most
of
this
tends
to
be
very
formulaic
and
that's
going
to
be
one
of
the
lessons
that
I
think
the
teachers-
and
you
know
and
I
will
be
doing.
D
You
know
the
work
for
which
is
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
actually
go
beyond
the
formulas.
Go
beyond
what
it
is.
That's
out
on
Google
for
an
opposite,
artificial
and
really
make
it
our
own.
So
of
course
it
gets
it
wrong.
Sometimes
I
asked
a
very
simple
question
to
summarize
act,
2
scene,
one
and
raising
in
the
sun,
and
it
gave
me
an
answer
that
was
completely
wrong.
D
The
information
I
don't
know
where
it
was
getting
this
from,
but
this
this
seems
like
something
that
a
Google
search
would
do
even
better
than
chat
TBT.
So
the
actual
summary
which
I
had
to
ask
a
few
more
questions
about
I
kept
telling
it.
Oh
you
got
this
wrong.
That
didn't
actually
happen
in
that
scene
and.
D
D
So
what
should
we
do?
The
first
thing
I
did
with
my
teachers
is
I
asked
a
chatbot.
You
know
what
the
heck.
B
D
So
the
chatbot
recommended
a
few
things:
writing
props
to
provide
students
with
prompts
and
have
them
generate
them
vocabulary.
Building
I
actually
thought
this
was
interesting
for
vocabulary.
You
can
go
into
chatbot
and
you
can
say
well,
I
want
you
know,
15
sentences
that
use
the
following
word
and
it'll
just
construct
15
original
sentences
for
you.
It
could
be
useful
in
terms
of
helping
students
understand
how
to
use
words.
D
Exactly
I
mean
these
are
things
that
again
could
come
down
the
line
and
have
some
benefit.
Reading
comprehension,
I,
had
one
student
yesterday
tell
me
that
when
he
studies
for
things
he
asked
the
chatbot
to
give
him
study
guide
questions
for
a
science
test,
for
instance
with
the
answers,
and
then
he
converts
them
into
slides
that
he
uses
to
study,
and
you
know
so.
D
This
is
kind
of
an
interesting
approach,
but
for
reading
comprehension
the
same
thing
is
true:
you
can
take
a
passage
plug
it
into
the
chat
bot
and
ask
it
to
spit
out
five
or
six
different
reading
questions
that
you're
going
to
then
answer,
but
then
it
could
also
give.
D
Good
at
this
yet,
but
it's
going
to
get
there
I
already
have
taken
student
essays
and
plugged
them
in
and
said.
Can
you
give
me
three
different
suggestions
that
this
student
might
benefit
from
to
make
the
writing
more
sophisticated
and
it'll
spit
out
some
things
that
actually
are
very
similar
to
what
I
would
have
told
the
student?
D
Sometimes
it's
pretty
generic
in
terms
of
its
responses,
but
if
you
ask
the
right
question,
which
is
part
of
what
we
have
to
teach
students
to
do,
if
we
are
going
to
have
them
using
this,
they
have
to
know
how
to
query
it
and
they
need
to
know
how
to
actually
anal
past
those
questions
in
ways
they're
going
to
yield
the
kind
of
responses
that
they
want.
It
can
give
us
some
fairly
good
information
about
the
writing.
D
Now
I
have
a
little
bit
of
information
going
in
before
I
start
to
read
it
I
think
of
my
students
who
were
reading
Machiavelli
earlier
this
year
and
they
probably
didn't
like
me
too
much
when
I
brought
it
in
the
first
time,
but
that
would
have
probably
helped
them
to
have
a
nice
little
summary
of
Machiavelli,
similar
to
what
we
saw
in
like
the
old
Shakespeare
books,
where
they
used
to
summarize
the
scene.
You
were
about
to
read
right
before
you
read
it,
so
that
could
be
helpful.
Creative
writing.
D
But
the
creative
writing
ideas
in
terms
of
giving
students
prompts
for
what
they
could
do
with
it.
I
actually
typed
in
and
I
can
show
you
this
later.
I
wanted
a
modernized
version
of
Sonnet
130
from
Shakespeare,
that's
the
one
that
starts
with
my
mister
size
and
nothing
like
the
sun.
Those
of
you
who
are
Sting
fans.
He
sang
that
song
in
the
80s,
and
it
gave
me
a
modern
version.
It
mentioned
things
like
ChapStick
and
screens
and
all
sorts
of
stuff
and
it
had
the
same
rhyming
structure
and
you
know
so.
D
You
know
it's
an
amazing
creative
writing
tool,
I
suppose
and
then,
of
course,
we
have
the
option
to
translate
anything
into
whatever
language
you
want
it
to
be
in.
So
those
are
all
things
that
it
could
do
for
us.
As
teachers,
I
asked
the
same
question
about
how
students
could
use
it,
and
some
of
the
same
answers
appeared
for
writing
prompts
for
vocabulary
for
research
for
reading
comps
summarization,
as
I
mentioned
before,
and
then
even
grammar
assistants.
Personally.
A
D
It's
it's
there
and
as
teachers
we
had
to
think
about.
Well.
What
can
we
do
about
this,
and
this
is
going
to
become
an
arms
race
right
now
that,
unfortunately,
I
don't
think
anyone's
going
to
win.
Gpt
0
is
a
program
that
actually
says
it's
going
to
detect
whether
something's
AI
generated.
We
use
a
software
turnitin
program
that
actually
checks
students
papers
against
a
bunch
of
different
databases.
D
Added
the
feature
to
actually
be
able
to
detect
chat
TPT,
but
with
one
caveat
it
is
partly
foolproof.
What
you
get
back
is
something
like
this.
Your
text
is
likely
to
be
written
entirely
by
AI
and
I.
Don't
know
about
you,
but
I,
don't
feel
very
comfortable
in
a
court
of
law
trying
to
sit
there
and
suggest
that
a
student
used
Ai
and
making
this
a
gotcha
moment
where
I'm
only
out
here
to
try
and
detect
who's
doing
this
and
who's.
Not.
D
A
D
It
when
is
it
appropriate
when
is
it
not
appropriate?
Is
it
something
where
we
are
expecting
students
to
not
use
this
at
all
ever
or
could
a
student,
for
instance,
use
it
as
an
outline
tool
and
then
come
in
and
write
the
paper?
One
of
the
things
we
did
discuss
as
a
department
is
that
partly
what
we
need
to
start
thinking
about
is
the
place
that
writing
has
in
the
classroom.
D
Hopefully
not
the
tutor,
wrote
the
tutor,
helped
them
with
or
the
chatbot
wrote,
and
so
we
have
a
situation
where
it's
very
hard
to
really
look
at
exactly
what
the
student
has
produced,
which
to
me
is
going
back
to
something
that
I've
preached
to
my
department
all
along
it's
about
process.
It's
about.
How
do
we
know
the
the
process
that
the
students
use
to
work
on
a
paper?
D
Have
we
seen
it
from
inception
all
the
way
to
conclusion,
and
if
we're
looking
only
at
that
final
piece,
that
a
student
submits
and
we're
forgetting
about
the
process
that
A
student
uses
to
write
all
along,
then
we're
not
really
teaching
them?
How
to
write
and
to
me
that
process
is
going
to
happen
more
in
our
students,
lives
in
the
classroom,
so
I've
had
teachers
that
have
actually
done
Soup
To
Nuts
research
papers
where
the
students
came
in,
they
worked
on
their
research
in
the
classroom.
They
got
help
from
the
teacher
in
the
classroom.
D
They
were
conferencing
with
the
teacher
in
the
classroom.
They
were
beginning
to
write
in
the
classroom
and
at
the
end
of
each
class
period
they
would
submit
the
paper
to
the
Google
classroom
and
not
work
on
it
and
they
went
home
now.
That's
beneficial
for
a
lot
of
reasons.
I
think
we
get
a
better
sense
of
what
the
student
is
capable
of
for
sure,
but
it
also
to
me
feels
like
for
the
student.
D
D
D
B
D
Seeing
probably
shorter
pieces,
so
the
the
10-page
paper
does
not
necessarily
need
to
be
written,
because
that
would
take
probably
a
month
in
class
to
put
that
together,
but
can
I
find
out
if
a
student
is
doing
critical.
Thinking
and
analytical
writing
if
they're
only
writing
a
two
to
three
page
paper
or
a
two
to
three
paragraph
paper
or
even
an
analytical
paragraph.
So
some
of
those
are
things
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
as
well
and
we
went
back
to
hand
written
journals.
D
A
lot
of
my
teachers
are
using
them
regularly
in
the
classroom,
which
is
also
in
another
great
tool.
I
think
that
is
part
of
helping
students
become
better
at
that
process
of
thinking
and
using
writing
as
a
reflective
tool.
So
the
message
I
had
to
my
teachers
when
I
presented
this
to
them,
was
that
we
need
to
figure
out
ways
to
adapt.
D
I
told
them
right
from
the
beginning
that
I
was
not
going
to
treat
this.
As
you
know
me
going
out
there
as
the
sheriff
in
town
who's
going
to
find
every
kid
who's
using
AI
I'm,
going
to
have
a
failing,
failing
proposition.
If
I
do
that,
and
it's
not
going
to
be
much
fun
for
anybody,
so
we
need
to
figure
out
how
we
want
to
use
it.
What
we're
going
to
do
with
it
I
have
I
think
it's
about
what
five
or
six
teachers
next
year
who
are
going
to
join
me.
D
It's
part
of
a
year-long
exploration
of
AI
and
we're
going
to
be
going
up
to
BOCES
working
with
some
other
districts
in
the
area
and
really
just
talking
about
you
know
this
exact
question:
how
do
we
adapt?
How
do
we
begin
to
use
this
in
our
classrooms
for
all
the
good
that
it
can
do,
and
how
do
we
actually
then
respond
to
it?
If
we
do
have
students
who
are
using
it
for
a
shortcut
and.
D
A
Of
the
interesting
things
Dwayne
is,
they
talked
about
in
the
movie
The
Social
Network,
where
they
had
a
million
Facebook
users,
and
it
was
like
after
so
many
months.
Chat
gbt
might
have
had
it
like
after
day
three.
So.
A
Districts,
who's
who
felt
like
they
shut
it
down
in
the
buildings
New
York
City
Public
Schools,
was
one
of
the
first
to
shut
it
down
they've
since
reversed
that
we
don't
think
that
we're
there
and
we
would
never
be
able
to
actually
shut
it
all
the
way
down
here.
So
we
want
to
just
like
Dwayne
said:
we
want
to
adapt
to
it
and
make
it
sort
of
work
for
us.
D
This
was
an
article
that
came
out
a
few
months
ago
right
after
New,
York
City
decided
to
ban
chat,
gbt
and
was
really
reacting
to
that
and
and
starting
to
think
about
it
as
a
tool.
Much
like
calculators.
You
know
when
calculators
first
came
out,
I'm
sure
the
Math
teachers
were
in
a
similar
quandary
that
we
were
in.
D
Popped
out,
but
the
the
idea
that
there
are
times
when
it's
valuable
and
there
are
times
when
we
want
to
use
it,
and
there
are
times
when
we
we
may
not
want
to
use
it
and
that
ultimately,
the
work
we're
going
to
have
to
do
this
summer
and
next
year
is
really
start
to
systematize
what
we
value
and
how
we
want
to
integrate.
This.
H
Our
only
option
is
to
embrace
it
as
a
tool
rather
than
if
it's
cheating
college
essays,
where
they
are
only
seeing
the
final
result,
not
the
process.
H
H
A
I
I,
I
I,
don't
believe
I,
don't
think
they're
picking
that
up
I
think
judge
EBT.
There
are
certain
things
that
you
can
it's
someone.
It
feels
like
it's
it's
like
a
nice
day,
but
it's
not
a
gorgeous
day
right.
It
lacks
hard.
So
and
that's
really
when
you
pick
it
up.
If.
I
A
A
Yeah
right
it
was
the
old
one
that
asked
Simon.
Yes,.
B
D
Interact
with
jeez.
D
A
B
A
Yeah
yeah,
they
know
that
it's
that
it's
an
AI.
E
E
D
Right
and
and
Mia
back
to
your
your
question
about
the
colleges
too
I
mean
Chris
mentioned
that
things
are
going
to
have
to
change.
I
mean
I,
certainly
anticipate
that
they're
going
to
have
to
look
at
multiple
metrics
now,
whether
it's
having
students
submit
portfolios
of
work
that
give
them
a
better
understanding
of
the
entire
student.
That's
something
that
could
be
part
of
this.
You.
B
D
If
I,
we
did
this
once
in
global
Scholars,
when
I
was
working
with
students
who
had
just
done
a
whole
unit
on
climate
change
and
they
had
to
come
in
and
talk
to
us
about
what
they
learned
and
they
had
to
sit
down
in
conversation
and
talk
to
us
about
what
they
knew,
what
they
learned.
We
pressed
back
with
questions.
We
asked
them
to
explain
certain
things
that
they,
you
know
were
dropping
these
little
like
names
that
they
dropped
in
whether
it
was
you
know,
the
depletion
of
the
ozone
layer.
D
Oh
tell
me
how
that
happens,
you
know
what
was
going
on
and
it
was
powerful.
You
know
it
was
something
that
they
really
had
to
prepare
for.
Nothing
that
the
chatbot
can
do,
can
get
them
ready
for
that
face-to-face
conversation
and
to
me
that's
one
of
the
saving
Graces,
because
the
English
classroom
has
changed
over
the
years.
It
is
no
longer
just
you
know,
drill
and
kill
grammar
lessons.
It's
no
longer
just
you
know,
writing
Theses
and
responding
to
a
text.
A
B
A
The
microfiche
last
month
there
was
a
number
of
us
went
who
went
to
University
of
Michigan
depression
on
college
campus
conference
at
the
University
of
Michigan,
but
we
were
there
on
the
plane
and
the
pilot
came
out
before
we
took
off
and
said,
there's
an
issue
with
the
with
the
starter
motor
whatever.
So
we
were
bored
and
we're
like
all
right.
How
do
you
go
about?
A
What's
the
best
way
to
fix
a
starter
motor
on
a
Boeing,
whatever
this
plane
was,
and
it
actually
spit
out
all
the
things,
and
we
were
saying
all
right,
they
might
be
able
to
do
that.
We
might
actually
be
able
to
get
out
of
here
and
it
was
able
to
tell
us
right
how
to
go
and
fix
this.
This
starter
motor
on
a
plane
on
a
plane
and
Dwayne
was
the
first
to
start
speaking
about
how
he
uses
it
in
his
daily
life,
like
okay,
I
want
to
go,
buy
a
new
car.
A
What
are
the
steps
I
I
want
to
take
if
I
drive
this
amount
of
time
to
work
and
I
put
this
many
miles
on
it
a
year
right
those
things,
hey,
I'm.
Looking
to
upgrade
my
AC
system
in
my
house,
which
what
steps
should
I
take
right,
all
those
things,
it
can
be
really
really
really
good.
I
think
we.
What
ultimately
we
need
to
do
here,
though,
like
Dwayne
was
getting
at,
is
allowing
our
kids
to
demonstrate
who
they
are
in
really
multiple
different
ways.
A
It
can't
just
be
through
the
written
word
at
this
point
and.
D
D
Just
yeah
you
just
cut
and
paste
it
in
and
say:
can
you
look
at
the
following
information
and
and
summarize
it
based
on
key
themes?
I
just
did
it
for
me
now:
I
had
to
go
back
and
sort
of
tweak
some
of
the
language.
If
I
were
actually
going
to
present
this
and
sort
of
say
all
right,
but
it
was
a
brilliant
way
of
at
least
saving
me
some
time
that
would
have
been
onerous.
B
K
You
know
that's
not
letting
kids
who
and
you
when
you
hear
of
that
author
who
goes
away
to
his
house,
you
know
his
cabin
in
the
woods
and
right
or
you
know
me,
would
go
home
to
my.
You
know,
room
and
just
think
and
write
and
put
it
down
on
paper.
You
know
we
don't
want
to
lose
that
either.
So
that's
a
challenge
specifically
for
chat
GPT
in
the
I
think
the
writing
space.
Sure.
D
Sure
and
I
listen
when
I
went
to
college
I
brought
a
typewriter,
that's
all
I
brought
with
me:
I
didn't
have
a
computer.
This
is
pre-email
and
I.
Remember
doing
the
same
thing.
All
the
papers
that
I
wrote
were
written
late
at
night
I
had
the
candle
going,
the
Enya
playing
yeah
had
to
set
the
moon,
you
know,
and
this
is
it
and.
D
Do
think
I
mean
when
we
talk
about
the
process
right,
it's
it's
not
a
one
day,
necessarily
part
where
they're
coming
in
and
just
writing
it
sometimes
they
are,
but
for
the
most
part,
it's
really
about
okay,
we
start
with
the
brainstorming
of
ideas
and
we're
going
to
work
you
through.
What
are
the
ideas
that
you
want
to
write
about?
I
talk
to
the
students
all
the
time
when
I
was
when
I
was
in
college
I.
Had
you
know
much
like
these
walls,
these
cinder
block
walls
in
my
dorm
room.
D
They
used
to
be
flooded
with
just
Post-it
notes
and
they
were
full
of
the
quotes
from
the
books
that
I
was
reading
and
then,
when
it
came
time
to
write
the
paper
I
would
take
the
quotes
and
start
to
organize
them
and
put
them
into
little
categories.
That
I
was
noticing
and
start
to
piece
together.
My
ideas
that
process
still
has
to
happen.
We
just
have
to
find
ways
to
siphon
it
down
into
a
process,
that's
manageable
for
our
students
because,
frankly,
I
don't
need
them.
Spending
15
hours
like
I,
did
looking
over.
D
All
those
quotes
to
to
be
able
to
demonstrate
that
they
can
actually
come
up
with
an
original
idea
to
write
about
the
one
thing
I
ask
is
just
for
your
patience
and
support
and
I'm
always
thankful
that
you
know
we
have
such
a
supportive
Community.
These
are
trying
times
you
know.
I
do
have
students
that
have
come
in
and
admitted
yes
that
wasn't
my
paper
and
we
have
to
figure
out
ways
to
then
deal
with
this.
We
have
students
that
have
come
in
and
the
generating
software.
D
D
I'm,
using
particularly
generated
words,
so
I
need
to
get
better
at
using.
You
know
some
more
original
wording,
I
guess,
but
that's
part
of
the
problem
we're
having
is
that
the
detection
software
is
not
nearly
where
it
needs
to
be,
and,
and
that's
something
that
I
feel
very
strongly
about.
I
want
to
use
it
as
one
metric
and
then
talk
to
students
about
process
and
talk
to
students
about.
You
know
how
they
should
be
using
this.
B
B
A
J
B
D
I
think
listen.
We
try
as
best
we
can
in
the
department
to
give
students
a
variety
of
different
types
of
experiences.
So
there's
time
when
that
pen
to
paper
in
the
journal
is
going
to
be
important
and
they
need
to
work
on
getting
their
ideas
down
in
a
succinct
way
when
they're
writing
that
way,
there's
times
when
they're
going
to
use
grammarly
there's
times
when
they
might
have
a
document
they're
working
on
over
a
course
of
a
couple
of
weeks
or
months
or
our
science
research
students
years.
So
every
writing.
D
J
A
I
could
tell
you:
I
was
lucky
enough
to
Shadow
a
10th
grade
student
yesterday
and
was
in
an
English
10
class
and
they
were
going
over
parallelism
and
they
were
hammering
home
on
that
on
grammar
and
they
do
that
in
class.
Still,
it's
not
something
that
is
lost
or
we
feel
like.
Oh,
you
don't
need
to
know
grammar.
They
were
going
through
things
that
took
me
back
to
my
seventh
grade.
A
F
F
G
F
A
You
know
you
think
about
the
old.
You
know
the
blue
books.
You
know
how
how
your
arm
would
get
so
tired
and
after
being
in
college
and
doing
that,
there's
a
lot
to
be
said
for
being
there
with
nothing
else
other
than
your
brain
and
your
understanding
of
what
you've
learned
and
putting
it
on
a
paper
there's
one
side
of
it.
The
other
side
of
it
is
when
is
the
last
time
that
you
actually
were
in
a
place
where
what
you
wrote
was
scrutinized.
A
Just
at
that
moment
right
we're
all
in
front
of
computers,
we're
all
we
all
have
the
ability
to
write
emails,
or
you
know,
write
speeches
or
or
whatever
we're
doing,
with
added
assistance
and
added
help,
and
we
have
to
go
from
sort
of
where
we
are
with
the
blue
book
to
knowing
that
every
kid
is
going
to
have
this
at
their
disposal
all
through
the
rest
of
their
lives,
provided
the
robots,
don't
come
back
and
kill
the
song.
G
D
So
what
happened
so
we
have
at
the
high
school.
We
have
a
lot
of
what
I
would
say
are
benchmark
assessments,
so
one
of
them
might
be
a
research
paper,
so
every
11th
grader,
for
instance,
writes
a
research
paper
voices
of
influence
paper.
It's
called
teachers,
might
do
it
at
different
times.
So
what
happened
this
year
are
some
of
our
teachers
have
that
finished
by
February
break,
and
they
were
done
with
it.
That
was
part
of
their
plan
was
to
have
it
done
earlier
in
the
year.
D
Some
are
doing
it
now,
so
the
challenge
with
the
ones
doing
it
now
is
that
oh
well
chat.
Gpt
was
not
even
in
the
Forefront
of
our
mind.
You
know
in
December
when
we
really
started
thinking
about
this,
but
now
it
is,
and
now
we
have,
you
know
documented
evidence
that
students
are
actually
using
it
and
and
they're
telling
us
they're
using
it.
So,
yes,
they
are
talking
to
the
students
about
expectations.
D
They
should
be
making
it
clear,
and
most
of
my
teachers
are
in
agreement
that,
when
we're
giving
a
writing
assignment,
unless
we
expressly
tell
you
to
use
it,
you
should
not
be
all
right.
So
there
might
be
some
teachers
who
say:
okay,
I'm
fine
with
you
using
it
to
brainstorm
ideas.
That's
it
that's
the
end
of
it
and
that's
going
to
be.
Our
challenge
is
to
really
systematize
that
and
make
sure
it's
clear
to
students
make
sure
it's
clear
to
families.
D
Know
we
may
need
to
update
our
student
handbook
to
have
you
know
something
about
this
in
it.
You
know
these
are
just
things
I'm
thinking
off
the
top
of
my
head
in
terms
of
how
we're
communicating
it.
But
yes-
and
that's
that's
going
to
be
a
big
challenge
for
us-
is
to
make
sure
that
that
is
clear
and
that
students
know
when
they
can
and
cannot
use
it.
B
C
B
A
A
Thanks
all
right
so
again,
this
is
just
I'll.
Have
these
links
up
there?
You
can
play
around
with
them,
but
you
can
really
go
down
a
rabbit
hole
all
right.
So
I
just
put
these
up
there.
Just
as
a
reminder
seniors
last
day.
Is
this
Friday
it's
hard
to
believe
and
we're
thankful
to
the
PTSA
I?
Think
right
now
it
still
looks.
A
The
last
I
saw
the
weather
looked
okay
during
the
day,
maybe
raining
a
little
after,
but
I
think
we're
going
to
be
able
ptsas
helping
by
providing
food
trucks
that'll
be
down
at
the
concession
stand
for
our
seniors,
but
on
Monday
it's
a
big
day
because
we
kick
off
with
our
AP
exams
and
we
also
kick
off
with
our
Juniors
driving,
maybe
Junior,
who
wants
to
drive
the
forms
of
the
application
are
up
on
the
home
page,
the
high
school
homepage,
so
they
can
go
on
and
start
to
do
that
so
here's
week,
one
and
our
seniors
will
be
out
on
internships,
and
then
we
have
week
two.
A
And
this
will
all
be
sent
out,
and
then
we
have
the
Regents
exam
all
week,
so
a
little
bit
different
this
year,
in
that
normally
we've
had
it
so
that
the
chemistry
regions
is
usually
the
last
one
our
kids
take,
but
because
of
the
Juneteenth
holiday
and
the
way
that
the
calendar
works.
We
have
our
actual
local
final
exams.
So
these
are
not
Regents
exams.
A
So
that's
going
to
be
the
the
last
day
of
scheduled
classes,
we'll
be
on
that
Tuesday
June
13th.
A
This
is
different
as
well
in
that
our
U.S
history
framework
Regents,
which
is
new
this
year,
it
was
going
to
be.
It
was
going
to
be
done
last
year,
except
with
the
the
awful
shooting
in
Buffalo
they
they
had
to
pause
it.
So
this
is
the
first
time
it's
it's
being
given.
That's
why
they
give
it
earlier
so
that
they
can
have
time
to
score.
It
standardize
it
throughout
the
the
state.
Now,
on
that
day,
our
11th
graders
will
come
to
school
at
and
take
the
test
at
8
A.M.
A
They
are
not
expected
to
go
back
to
class
that
day.
Their
history
classes
will
continue
through
the
rest
of
the
year,
but
they
are
not
expected
to
have
to
go
that
day
to
any
of
their
afternoon
classes.
They
can
be
picked
up
or
they
can
just
hang
around
and
wait
until
the
end
of
the
day
to
get
the
bus
you'll
see
the
earth
science
lab.
Practical
teachers
are
going
to
assign
a
separate
slot
and
they'll
they'll
communicate
that
directly
with
students
and
then
in
our
last
two
days.
A
Wednesday
and
Thursday
teachers
will
be
grading,
we'll
be
doing.
Report
cards
will
be
posted
on
that
Friday,
June
23rd.
A
Bus,
no,
you
bring
them
in
so
in
the
morning
we
have
a
morning
run,
and
then
we
have
an
a
run
at
the
end
of
the
first
test
to
send
them
home,
and
then
we
have
a
run
at
the
end
of
the
the
day
after
the
last
exam
and
we'll
we'll
communicate.
All
the
the
bus
runs.
G
K
Jessica
are
teachers
still
teaching
new
material,
or
do
they
typically
at
some
point,
start
to
prepare
the
kids
for
sort
of
these
year-long
tasks.
A
Yeah,
so
it's
a
good
question
and
there's
no
there's
no
standardized
answer.
I
can
tell
you
that
when
I
was
an
earth,
science
teacher
I
knew
that
there
were
some
years
where,
when
we
came
back
from
the
Memorial
Day
break
that
I'm
still
teaching
content,
it
depends
a
lot
on
how
many
snow
days
we've
had
how
how
many
kids
were
absent
on
the
day
of
a
unit
test
that
caused
a
little
bit
of
you
know
static
going
forward
to
the
next
unit.
A
Yes
and
a
lot
of
it
yeah
the
the
curriculum.
We
don't
control
that
New
York
state
says
right.
This
is
what
they
need
to
know,
and
so
you
run
the
risk
of
saying.
Do
I
just
want
to
focus
on
the
things
that
I've
already
taught
them
well
or
do
I
want
to
cover
everything,
and
hopefully
they
they
can
sort
of
pick
up
what
they
really
need
from
it.
A
So
some
some
areas
it's
an
inch
deep
and
a
mile
wide
and
for
courses
that
we
design
it's
the
opposite,
we're
a
mild
deep
and
an
inch
wide
all
right.
So
it's
I
I
got
us
out
here
to
the
award
ceremony,
which
is
hard
to
believe
that
we're
going
to
be
there
that
quickly,
but
athletic
signing
day
is
today
in
the
upper
gym,
and
we
want
to
celebrate
all
of
all
of
our
athletes
and
then
just
highlight
those
that
are
going
on
to
play
in
college.
A
Teacher
Appreciation
Day
the
actual
day
is
next
Tuesday
and
thank
you
to
the
PTSA
again
for
providing
the
luncheon
on
May
the
4th
the
bhgf
spring
Fiesta.
That
is
going
to
be
on
May
5th
our
next
time
here.
Our
last
principal's
coffee
of
the
year
will
be
on
May
16th.
We
have
our
Varley
players
performance
coming
up.
We
have
on
the
19th,
that's
at
7
p.m
and
on
the
20th
it's
at
2
p.m,
and
7
P.M
the
startup
pitch
event.
A
We're
really
excited
about
this
is
going
to
be
on
May
22nd,
it's
at
7
p.m,
and
this
is
going
to
be
like
our
version
of
Shark
Tank,
based
on
all
of
what
the
students
have
been
creating
throughout
the
year.
We
want
to
thank
everybody
in
the
community.
Who's
participated
as
either
a
mentor,
coach
or
judge
all
the
power
and
involvement
as
well
has
been
terrific.
H
A
Look
I
think
we
might
have
all
the
judges
we
need
now
so
last
week
we
were
but
I
think
we
we
got
over
the
top.
Last
week
and
again
we
are
closed
on
the
26th
of
May,
because
we
didn't
use
all
of
our
snow
days,
so
we
have
that
Friday
and
then
we're
off
Memorial
Day
and
then
that
Wednesday
after
we
come
back
is
the
award
ceremony.
Graduation
is
graduation.
We
don't
have
that
on
there.
That
is
going
to
be
on
the
day
after
Juneteenth
June.
