so, first, to clarify: when i said i "quit" my job that really means i'm still working there until the end of may. just another messed up thing teachers do.
second, if anyone is interested in the insanity that is my workplace (and, sadly it seems many other public schools across the nation), please check out these videos. the first one especially encapsulates the madness
"good teachers can model and engage students at the same time. that's why it's called an I Do - because everyone's doing something"
"you have to model everything for the students, because they are not smart." (i've *actually* been told this very thing)
"the students have started filling in all the bubbles as a form of protest...the one thing we have assessed beyond a shadow of a doubt is that they do not care about assessments. and that they hate you." (another one that is very true)
also, what he says about phrasing evaluation is probably what our administrators were told word-for-word.
here's another special one which shows off our awesome "plc" time (which is not PLC At. All. and makes me want to scream every time they call it that.
love you!
