ALL THINGS OF NO CONSEQUENCE 2
C is the big blog ! I can't wait to c the latest ! Thanks for looking out for all of your fans !!!! - Tafkaj7
Thank you for your comment.
Today's post concerns the same thing that all previous and future posts will focus on and that is me. Sorry for appearing egocentric, but that is how it has to be sometimes.
Anyway today I wrote a poem while awaiting what I call "THE 100 MINUTES OF DEATH" or what is known as staff development for teachers. It is a mind numbing and way too large block of time in which we are herded into a usually uncomfortable room to be developed in what claims to be advantageous to us, but what really is, on the whole, detrimental. We are forced to stay in school, after several long and arduous hours of incessant pedagogy only to be forced to be spoken to and treated as if we, the supposed professionals, were in fact students ourselves. Now I know that we are "life time learners" and all that party line dribble, but GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK, if we were really the students for this we should treat our admin, who in all actuality rather not be there either, as the students (some, not all, you got to be careful for sweeping generalizations nowadays) treat us. You know such things as pulling out our cell phones or cd or mp3 players, or ipods, or going up to them and saying something classy like "FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKER" all in a way to make them feel cozy and at home as if they are teaching a class of students, albeit an older and less active bunch, but students nonetheless.
My vent is over, its just that I guess the time should be spent more constructively, or the information disseminated by other means. Today one piece of the presentation was actually useful and (I am truly shocked to admit it) will love to try it in my class soon. The problem was this could have been done in about twenty to twenty five minutes, it was not necessary for 100 minutes. In those minutes I died of the heat, throttled my presenter, pictured a colleague or two naked and in many compromising situations, and when it was over, there was still a group activity for us to do! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Anyway Mayor DOOMSBERG and BOZO DeKLEIN have totally taken control of the BOE turned into the fifth Reich DOE, and unfortunately have irrevocably wrecked and ethnicity the terminally ill educational system. Congress fought to keep others alive when someone pulled the plug, this time they let these two come in the room execute the patient.
But I am not bitter, Oh No, I love my job, and getting developed and Mikey, enjoy the next few months your time is up at the mansion.
The truly sad thing, and I am not being altruistic by any means is that the damage that these two have wrought over the entire system will take many new administrations to fix.
And who truly suffers.........
ME DAMMIT. :o)
Until next time
Peace
