Pam was back today. It sure doesn’t seem like she was gone for ten days. Maybe they let her come back early. She wrote a letter to Mr. Burns apologizing for what she did and thanking him for not pressing charges. That surprised both of us.
The kids started taking their year-end standardized tests today. Today’s test was math. We’ve got a month and a half of school left and the students have already taken their end-of-year exam. I’m glad we don’t have to do it for science. I plan on teaching till the end. It’s easier than babysitting the students for the rest of the year. No wonder they think the school year is over. I had seven students missing from a single class today.
So what are the math teachers supposed to do for the rest of the year? Review? Start teaching next year’s material? The science department wanted to know how many textbooks I’ll need to replace for next year. Am I supposed to collect textbooks already? This year is over.
This is the story of a burned out teacher who works in a dysfunctional school. Everything you are about to read is true. Names have been changed to protect the guilty. Warning: This blog contains depictions of actual middle school events and may therefore be inapropriate for children.
