    Because of ISTEP testing this week, I've been letting the students listen to Elijah of Buxton during my math class. It's interesting seeing the students in a different learning environment than what I'm used to. #bfc530

    Good morning #bfc530! I feel like there should be a bfc539 group for teachers who care enough about their professional development to do it every morning at 5:30 but are too clumsy to actually type the right hashtag.

    Grades. Tell me about grades. What’s going on overseas? What’s different? I know many have grades to reflect a standard, but since they aren’t the criteria for college, they don’t have the same emotions tied to them - but I want to know more! #bfc530

    How is community service implemented within the school? We have clubs that mandate a certain amount of hours but most of those hours are done outside of school. I’m curious if other countries make students work within the school building. #bfc530
