Look I don't envy adminstrators. The good ones are in an impossible position to do things that go against their personal ethics and the bad ones are just stupid thugs who if you have the stamina and you keep your wits(as Randi told me) about you --you can defeat!!!!<BR/><BR/>Don't be afraid.

It is part of the new contract. We have to work an extra 37.5 minutes after the regular school day. In my school they have two kinds of programs to raise reading scores. One is a scripted program targeting ones and twos. The other is an enrichment program--I guess its for the threes. The goal is to bring ones up to twos, twos up to threes, etc.<BR/><BR/>To justice: I agree about this being a war. That is why I'm so wierded out. However, it is hard to think strategically when the terrain is so new. That is why I started this blog. I am sure that many Bloomberg principals are thinking and acting according to established guidelines. I might step on a landmine or two before the end of the year, but at least others can learn from my mistakes.Moriah Untamedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08256637291823077134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320064253271992861.post-11127118349308197392007-09-05T05:23:00.000-04:002007-09-05T05:23:00.000-04:00Don't let your guard down!!This is the savage worl...Don't let your guard down!!<BR/>This is the savage world of boxing--oops tteaching I mean. <BR/><BR/>Now that you have been "punished" with your first U they could take one of two actions, leave you alone for the year or come in for the kill.<BR/><BR/>I am in the same position.

I always thought that U rated teachers couldn't make presession until they got a S , but I guess I was misinformed?
