1. Friday energy is like no other...AND I am beginning the last chapter for my curriculum which is simple and compound interest...which I am ending on Tuesday...GLORY!!!!
2. Any assessment data that is not the STAAR is null and void. Kids don't perform unless it's the real thing. No matter what motivational tool you provide.
3. If the STAAR test has to exist, it should be semester based or divided by units because this cumulative but not giving you a full year to teach is for the birds.
4. Boys slap boxing in the bathroom like it's the 20th century. See? They only thought kids are hooked on technology!
5. Putting student work outside my class so my colleagues can walk around and see if what I'm doing is correct in my classroom is not a productive use of anyone's time.
6. I hate talking to parents and they make an excuse for their kid. "Well why couldn't she go to the bathroom?" Look if you want your kid to play in the bathroom whenever they want then homeschool them...but let's get back to other 30 disruptive things that I really called you about.
7. There are plenty of things that schools do well where credit is never given...however schools do bureaucracy poorly. Approved vendor list that limits any piece of creativity you had? Check. Have a great idea that you want to implement? You have to talk to 40 people before you can do anything. Getting half ass information? All the damn time.
