Dogarazzi: Week 51

Since school got out and we went to the beach, JG has claimed his summer break for his own with lots of video games and … well, I’m not sure what else. Oh, I exaggerate. He has done yard work, small repairs, and a lot of cooking, which is greatly appreciated when his sugar mama arrives home from her long day at work.

Anyway, JG has hunkered down this week to start his preparations to teach the AP computer science class in the fall, which will be new to him. Last year, he taught a semester-long, introductory computer science course that was graphics-based and easy for beginners. This year, he has two sections of that same class, plus the AP course. Generally, JG likes to teach computer science because the students are upperclassmen who can handle being on their own with the programming, but the AP class holds a certain challenge in that the kids learn Java.

Oh, and JG doesn’t know Java.

In order to study up — or stay one day ahead of the kids, as I like to tease — JG has been going through the material, even before I leave for work in the morning. He sets up his computer on the dining table and follows along PowerPoint slides from the textbook, and he looks quite studious, indeed. The other day, when I went to pack my lunch, I came across this sight:

Apparently, Ted was misbehaving, so JG had sequestered him in Study Land, but it looked for all the world like Ted pursuing his dream of becoming the next Java programmer. By golly, that dog will earn his keep, yet!
