I get told more often than I care to admit that I "scare" people. This has me puzzled. I don't know what I'm doing to warrant that. It bothers me probably more lately. You don't get a second chance at a first impression. Apparently, my first impression is one of fear. Not intentioned by any … Continue reading Why Am I “Scary”?

What Ya Learn By Listening…
One thing I like to do is people watch...and...listen. Doing so allows me to learn about people. Today, the topic is ACT & State Archery Tournament. First, let's talk about the ACT test.... I realize it's required for college admission. I did not realize that the Kentucky Dept. Of Education sets the date, all across … Continue reading What Ya Learn By Listening…
If Society Accepted Honesty…..
Ahhh...another MOANday coming to a close....work has picked up. We had a 2hr delay because of weather. So, that means I got to stick around until closing to get my hours. A few things have happened in the last 24+ hours that makes me think...(yeah I do that from time to time) boy people are … Continue reading If Society Accepted Honesty…..
Suggestions for Schools….
...through experience, we gain knowledge... I'm trying to find the silver lining in the rather chaotic educational experiences we are having these days. I'm hoping that this experience helps me find knowledge needed to avoid the chaos and perhaps help others. I cannot help but wonder, "if I could overhaul the education program completely...TODAY, could … Continue reading Suggestions for Schools….
Pondering….
A few thoughts since this last Dramatic Monday.... Bullying on the heels of my being called a bully, by someone of authority, in the school for which I volunteer a LOT of my time, a friend said (not exactly quoted): I don't believe in bullying, you have to let yourself be bullied. This statement holds … Continue reading Pondering….
A Positive Spin
Well, I've been asked to be sure to give my school some positive feedback on my blog... I can say that I'm pretty positive that I should have been in that building more than the one time, yesterday. Would it have made a difference? Maybe? Maybe not? But at the very least, I wouldn't have … Continue reading A Positive Spin
Adding Edgenuity Classes!!?? REALLY!
Ok so our kids have had it with Edgenuity....not to mention parents have had it with snow days....but, after a snow day my kids return to school; dreading Edgenuity. Shortly after arriving and going to said dreaded lab, I get a text showing me a slip of paper. This paper (hopefully featured image) essentially spells … Continue reading Adding Edgenuity Classes!!?? REALLY!
The Stories Get Better Each Day…
Ok so apparently some students have been told that "if they fail Edgenuity they fail the class"....hmmm? Since when did our school system endorse distance learning over local instruction? If that's the case, mine can stay home all day, do it from home and save me a TON. Of money in wasted lunches, clothing, gas … Continue reading The Stories Get Better Each Day…
Experiment Gone Terribly Wrong
Ok...so, this "wonderful" program called Edgenuity is suppose to "prepare students to work independently to prepare for college"? Ok. How can they do so if it's controlled by staff who do not do THEIR job? My children were sent home with a letter over Christmas break indicating percentages expected in each class for Edgenuity. I … Continue reading Experiment Gone Terribly Wrong
PERFECT Time to use Edgenuity
Well...congrats East Jessamine....kids have missed 4 more days of school because of the frigid temps. Would have been a PERFECT time for kids to focus on Edgenuity....if it wasn't LOCKED. Assessments, locked. Lessons, locked. I don't understand. Kids are being held responsible for grades....punished even...yet, who's responsible for the Edgenuity problems? Was told tonight of … Continue reading PERFECT Time to use Edgenuity
