Faculty meeting this morning. Another test administration training. We have something like 45 days of standardized testing this year and every time the entire staff has to sit for another training.We drive ourselves to work at jobs which the state has licensed us to do, but we can't proctor a test without these stupid trainings!
The state of Texas is crazy at its core and getting worse by the minute.
Word is that an axman from another district has been hired as the new Chief Academic Officer. He's supposed to be coming on board to clean house. Hope that means he's starting at Eastway Village. The good old boy network has taken all the academic credibility out of this district. All the student safety nets, affective teaching methods and professional learning communities have pretty well gummed up the works by creating a culture that requires nothing of the student. Can you smell the acrid smoke of smoldering burnt out teacher?
I am caught up at least and the final marking period of the school year is here. Tomorrow is Friday and the weather has been ideal for almost the entire week. The only thing on my calendar is a hair appointment on Saturday.
I have contracted Tyler's cold. So if today is any indication, I'm not going to feel like doing anything else.
I'm off to the kitchen to throw together some microwave Chinese for dinner. Thank the Lord for steamers and rotisserie chicken. Life is good!
