Greetings and welcome to the 2018-2019 school year.
There are a multitude of purposes for using Mr P's website.
1) Students can check homework (HW)
2) Parents can check homework
3) Students (especially absent) can find out about what happened in class.
4) Parents can get a sense of what is going on in class.
5) Students and parents can find out about upcoming exams, quizzes, projects, etc.
While
this information can be helpful, parents and students should NOT ONLY
rely on this portion of the website for information pertaining to World
History. Students should:
a) Attend class and pay attention to instruction
b) Exchange phone numbers and emails with more than one trustworthy student
c)
Start a class blog or use other social media to communicate about class
matters (students have been doing this for the past few years now)
Due
to various restrictions like lack of time, no budget for secretaries
and website masters, as well as a need to attend to personal matters,
Mr. P does NOT always have this portion of the website updated. He tries
his best. Yes, not very far back in history there were no such thing as
websites and whatnot. Mankind has survived for thousands of years
without the internet and other technological 'wonders' and Mr. P supposes we
can continue to do so. Think of this website as an 'extra' and not a
necessity. Regardless, Mr. P hopes you still find this portion of the
website helpful this year.
