Is it bad that I mentioned that our family owns weapons in front of the school president?

                Today in Western Civilization we went over what was going to be on the test tomorrow. In reality, more of the class was discussion than Mr. Schick actually telling us what was on the test. Mr. Schick opened the class by discussing what was happening when there was a supervisor was in the room last class. The adult in the classroom was the president of the school. He was supervising to see how Mr. Schick runs his class and how effective he was at teaching. Mr. Schick talked about how stressful it was in other schools to pass this inspection, as instead of telling you what you did right, they would pick out the most minute details of what you did wrong. Mr. Schick didn’t think he was going to get a bad report, but he did have one thing to say, which was about the usage of computers during class time. I do remember you saying at the beginning of the year that you never wanted us to use computers during class, and I was a little bit surprised when you didn’t get on to kids about it more often as of late, but you teach how you want to. I do agree that computers are a large distraction in class as the temptation to do other things on your computer when the teacher isn’t looking is pretty high, especially when what the teacher is teaching isn’t appealing to you. After that we had a long discussion on what was going to be on the test, and checked notes.
