...This
is the paradox of vision:
Sharp perception softens
our existence in the world.
Susan Griffin “Happiness,” lines 110-113 (1987)
The Columbia World of Quotations.  1996.

Welcome to my page for CORE students and their parents. This is a site to help students and parents get information they need for our class. I hope you will visit this page often for homework, to see some of the links we have found for our books, or to see what we are working on each week.


Grading Policy: Due to popular demand (or shall I say, Student Demand) my grading policy is as follows:
A C in my class means that the student has met the requirements of the class, but in no way has exceeded them.  This is a grade that indicates the student has met expectations.
A B in my class means that the student has performed above expectations.  This means the student has produced work that goes beyond the requirements and is of good quality.  The student has exceeded the requirements and expectations of the class.
An A in my class means that the student has far exceeded the expectations and requirements of the cllass.  This is a superior grade and one that indicates the student has show exceptional skill and ability.  This is a grade that indicates excellence and mastery of the material in an extraordinary manner.

Our theme for this year is "Vision." Please see our curriculum overview for information on texts we will be working on, essential understandings and questions.

Please see our current unit's page for information on what we are working on presently.
