This Is Why I Don't Love My Job

Testing....need I say more?

Yes. I do.

I hate it. It sucks. It's boring. And it makes me sleepy. I listened to almost 40 different kids today read the same three stories over...and over...and over...and over again. No amount of M&Ms could keep me alert. My mind was listening and my hand was marking their mistakes, but my eyes would not stay open. It was horrible and just plain cruel. I know those kids probably think I'm possessed or something with my eyes rolling back and my mumbling words.

*sigh* Not that anybody cares or anyone can do anything about it but I just had to gripe....

Are you doing Burns and Rowe? (or the TALA crap that's similar to it?) If so, I'm sorry. It completely and totally sucks. And if it's not, Burns and Rowe, that still sucks.

I am so sorry chicka, you need one of those buzzers you can put on a dog to get them to stop barking that would shock the crap out of you and probably keep you awake:D

This is why it annoys me when the government feels they need to tell local school districts how to run things. What does some 80-year-old senator know about education? They probably had to walk fifteen miles, uphill, through the snow, to a one room, log cabin. And they think they need to dictate what teachers in Texas or Missouri teach.

Grr.
