Homecoming Week

Well, this week went fairly well. Lots of things going on. I won the future career day as a Motocross racer dressed in full gear. The teacher look alike day went well with over 40 Mr. Cloer is running around the building. Now its time to get back to the grindstone with the folks from the GA dept of education coming for observations as well as my county BOE and other teams. Seems like a tedious time to make it through with all the talks and threats about standards being recited by students and such. Ill follow up more about it after they come.

Also, they made us watch a video of a Cobb county math teacher tying the standards into the lesson. I'm wondering why they deleted the part where she threatened the children with their lives before filming. I don't know why they even bother to show this crap when it is skewed as badly as it is. They are coming to model this to our school. The class they have chosen is AP honors English with 12 students. I want to see them in a 9th grade math class with 28 students or any of my classes for that matter before they get my respect. Anyone can make a 12 student honors class go smooth as pie. Sorry for the venting, I obviously just don't get it sometimes.
