It's not perfect and it is a lot of work. But work the crowd, herd the students
who
move about and continue to tell them what you expect, the best. I had to kick
another
student out for threatening to kill a new student from Bosnia today. The vice
principle backs me up
when I send someone out. I just have a great mix of kids to work with, it's an
education itself.
Some friends say I work in the little UN. I just wish we had some stability, 8
new students joined
my classes today. It's like a revolving door. We are into school reform. My
suggestion is to freeze
students in the schools they start at. We had teachers from New York and New
Jersey come to talk
to us about their reform efforts. One teacher said she got 3 new students last
year. Wow, I got
3 new 6th graders in my 3 period class today !! But I know if I hang in there
it will work out for
the ones who stay with us. But we fail to help the hundreds of students who go
through our
turn stiles during the year. We are evaluated on the test scores of those who
happen to be
in our building the week that we test. And, we are budgeted on the number
sitting in seats on
September 21st. Not a lot of rhyme or reason to this job. But I know my kids
are good, I entered
work by 13 students in Scholastic Arts last year and all 13 won awards. I just
wish we could
serve all the students not just the ones that stay awhile.
