[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 331788, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]EW, I cannot think of one person here who has nothing but respect for your profession. There are always "bad apples". Having met you in person, I have even more respect for you as a person. You are one delightful lady. Unfortunately, you are working against a system that is pushing rote knowledge versus an all encompassing education. On top of that, there are many parents (for whatever reason) who feel that all the problems can be solved by school. Then you actually grade a student on their performance & those same parents are ready to rescue that student versus being partners with the school & teachers. I hate what is happening in our schools; teachers are becoming more & more discouraged. All the testing & such has taken the joy our of your profession. I hope tomorrow is a better day.
