The Teen Career Academy is coming to the end of session and, therefore, trying to graduate a number of students near the end of the GED program. As a result, there has been some reshuffling. I am now assigned to two students, Alrinez and Matthew, who are about to take the math test. My schedule has been reduced to Tuesdays, but I will be meeting with both students and reviewing their weakest areas with them until they have passed the exam.

This week is Spring Break at the Teen Career Academy. This means that I have some extra time on my hands at the beginning of this week as I will not have any tutoring to do. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and I can do some things outside, but this is looking to be unlikely.

Since having been let go as part of the downsizing at The John R. McAdams Company, I have been volunteering for a couple of organizations. One of these is the Durham Literacy Center. I have been tutoring from Monday to Wednesday for the Teen Career Academy that meets at the John Avery Boys and Girls Club. It is a GED program for teens that have dropped out of high school. So far, I have been tutoring math. My first student, Richard, took the exam last Thursday, so I have switched to a new student, Marcus. We have started off near the beginning with fractions. The subject will end with algebra and geometry, at which point Marcus should also take the GED math exam.
