According to the head of my district union, there are two presidential candidates out there: one who wants to fix the problems of the educational system, and one who "wants to blame it all on the teachers."
This, of course, came on the heels of him telling us he knows that "teachers are complex voters."
*sigh*
In brighter news, kids show up on Monday. 8th grade scores are up, in spite of the fact that NCLB is still ruining education.
First personal assignment of the year: Define the word "ruin" and use it in a sentence.
In all seriousness, I'm excited to get down to business on Monday. If summer school was any indication, the comedy will outweigh the tears.
