Thank goodness!
This was one of the wackiest teaching years I've ever had. I was only there for one year - high school math. They put every freshman in Algebra, fail
50-60% of them, then say they will not change the way they teach math. And this has been going on for 5-6 years. There are a few upset parents, but they have no political clout in this neighborhood.I'm transferring to an elementary school that is year-round multi-track. So my summer might be short. I could be starting school as early as July 9. I'll be driving about 12 miles instead of 2 miles, but I expect to have more fun and enjoy teaching again.
Last time I taught elementary school, I had the class make comfort quilts for other children who had lost parents in 9*11. Maybe I can have my new class somehow work with quilts.
I'll be a much happier camper. And quilting has definitely been my therapy this year.
