COVID-19 Hits Education First…
Today is MARCH 20, 2020 - Nothing is normal for us these days. The world is buzzing about the "corona virus" aka COVID-19. Everyone is suddenly concerned about cleanliness. The simple lessons we learned as toddlers is all the rage. Everyone is suddenly hoarding toilet paper, hand sanitizer and cleaning wipes. The stores are literally … Continue reading COVID-19 Hits Education First…
Pondering the Past…and Future
I know this post will be like kicking a hornets nest, but it's heavy on my chest. It is NEVER acceptable for a small group of students to ride with teachers, in said teachers personal vehicle, while 30+ others watch and climb aboard a bus. Yes! There are extenuating circumstances where it MIGHT have to … Continue reading Pondering the Past…and Future
Honesty is NOT respected…
Seems these days doing anything honest is not respected anymore. Why am I looked upon as a "trouble maker" or "bitch" just because I question (and bring to light) potentially illegal and harmful behaviors? Lord knows, I have already been "warned" about my use of social media to express my opinion so I cannot give … Continue reading Honesty is NOT respected…
Do Your Job.. or Someone Else Will…
I'm utterly amazed at the things I learn in my line of work. I work in a production environment that caters to education....all levels...as well as SOME businesses and individuals. My job is nothing special and really, a "well trained monkey" could probably do most of it. That being said...I don't care to lose my … Continue reading Do Your Job.. or Someone Else Will…
AP EXAM — scam?
OK..so I might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer these days. I'm okay with that. I do read at a college level...and I can process details pretty quickly. Recently, my child presents me with a booklet given to her by her school. Inside is a form letter pretty much summarizing the booklet. Thanks. … Continue reading AP EXAM — scam?
Favoritism….another form of Bullying
So, I tend to talk a lot about "bullies", "society"band "lack of common sense". Why stop now? Well I'm glad you and I agree on something.Having been a coach and parent of active kids, I receive emails from our local parks & rec department from time to time. This one has me most upset. Why? The first … Continue reading Favoritism….another form of Bullying
Enough is ENOUGH!!
CAUTION: Rant ahead!! Proceed with caution.When is enough finally ENOUGH? Schools operate on an entirely set of different rules than most of society and I get that. Especially when it comes to raising funds etc. However, when did it become acceptable to charge $50+ for a yearbook that does not even get into the students' … Continue reading Enough is ENOUGH!!
So It Begins…..
Sorry folks...the Edgenuity battle continues. It's the first Monday of school and I already see this Edgenuity being shoved in students' faces - literally! Congrats to the staff though. For undoing what I have worked so hard to teach my kids - that computers, TV's, iPads, TV etc are to be used in moderation. Heck...my … Continue reading So It Begins…..
Accountability
Here we go again....7 days left in the school year and I'm notified that about an assignment or two due a MONTH ago! My reply..... "It's hard to hold kids accountable if we don't take IMMEDIATE action and let things slide for months. It's giving the impression that it's not important so the student won't … Continue reading Accountability
