Have you heard about the next planned "Survivor"
show?
3 businessmen and 3 businesswomen will be
dropped on an island with a
copy of the district's curriculum and 28 kids each,
for 6 weeks.
Each class has five learning-disabled children, 3
with ADHD, 1 gifted child, and
2 who speak limited English. Three are labeled as
severe behavior problems.
There is no access to vendors who want to take them
to lunch at a fancy restaurant.
Each business person must complete lesson plans,
modify accordingly, teach the
kids, handle misconduct, implements boys' town
training, write referrals,
correct homework, compute grades, export grades,
imput grades one at a time on
computer because grades didn't export,
communicate with parents ,
have conference with parents, and provide a
stimulating environment at all times.
The business people only have access to the golf
course on the weekends when all
teaching tasks are done.
There is only one golf course and they can't afford
it anyway on their new
salary.
The business people must continually advance their
education on their own time,
which they must pay for themselves either by
moonlighting at a second job or
marrying someone with a lot of money.
They must attend workshops; drill the classes for
fires and shooting attacks,
tutor those that are behind in the race, keep
records on all, not let it show
when they're having a bad day, incorporate read'n,
write'n and rithmatic every
day and get their 2
non-English speaking children proficient enough to
take the standardized tests.
The kids nd parents vote them off based on
performance.
