  1. Mindyman is crying to Anthony to have posts removed. Waaa, Waaa. Here's another Mindy, how is FTG doing? LOL.

  2. Go great with beer!

  3. Used to put students in their level of aptitude ie red birds, blue birds, etc/then came inclusion( all kids must be in the same classroom, no labeling. It upsets the kids. Then came differentiation Instead of five lesson plans for five different classes I had to differentiate for skilled and for failing therefore I now have fifteen plans a day. When I suggested we sort the students by ability and teach to the ability, WOW cannot do that it will label kids. Therefore lower test scores while the gifted wait on the less talented and the less talented fall behind if you challenge the gifted. All this expected by the state dept of Education. What a joke. Any of you people watch the Kentucky Derby, all level of horses were not in the same race, divided by talent, ability, attitude, level of maturation for their age. children are just higher level animals expecting training and education. You will never be successful putting them all in the same class(inclusion) and expecting all of them to achieve at 87%, impossible

  4. To get a pay raise, the teacher must score a "4" on a rubric that only has a "4' as the highest score. therefore all the administrator has to do is mark you a '3" in one area and no pay raise. My wife's evaluation "interestingly" now is lower than the last three years and no pay raise. My brother teaches around Indy where all of a sudden the highest score is 3.25 ie frozen pay raises.This is a faulty scoring system when a teacher would have to score perfect in all categories.Meanwhile, the administrators all got pay raises and two more were hired.It will be interesting to see what the administrators spouses score.
    The state needs a scoring system the rewards an effective teacher not a perfect teacher. I taught bfor 40 years and never used a scoring system that required perfection to reward my top students

  5. 'Floundering' would seem to indicate the sport is not long for the world. Sixteen years seems like a long time to 'flounder.'

    When one looks objectively at the metrics that matter; e.g., sponsorship, attendance an ratings, all are up.

    Is this another of those silly hater deals where you hold the sport of today up against the sport of twenty years ago then try some cutesy, childlike comparison to validate your little straw man?

    Here's another question: What is the specific purpose of television ratings?
