This is only a test...
I remember not long ago thinking on how much I hated tests and exams, and how I really wanted to get out of the whole "test-taking" idea in education - so much is bogus there. But now I'm writing up my first test for my (not so) little Hebrew class and realize that tests are no fun even from the other side of the teacher's desk. Tedious. Factor in that the class has a vocabulary of about 20 words, and none of them are verbs... My consolation is that at the end of the test, if they do well, they will all know how to say very important sentences:
"The powerful mares and the righteous princesses are wise."
"The good priests and the holy kings are heavy."
"The sword is powerful and the woman is not evil."
