I can only imagine what's going on now. Thanks for the great description!!<BR/><BR/>Back then, we were told that anything that was up all year could stay up, but I'm sure that has changed quite a bit.IMC Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16279699282698965195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21615042.post-19586517972002618372007-04-17T21:56:00.000-05:002007-04-17T21:56:00.000-05:00This was hilarious, especially because it's so tru...This was hilarious, especially because it's so true.

This is very very good. Educators...You are honest. This is very very good. Educators are so under the gun here, that teachers and principals have been caught cheating. I sympathize with them. Our provincial tests are loopy and count for squat. Results are published, even school by school. This has really damaged our area. We need doctors in the worst way, but those with young families have given us a pass. Sometimes I wish our teachers would cheat more. Or better still, I wish every parent would withdraw their child from the tests so they would be rendered invalid.

This is so sadly ridiculous yet true...though I'm not going to sympathize with you too much, as we had our English state test in JANUARY. <BR/><BR/>...Amorphous physical structures...tee hee...Nacho Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11370735026568009605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21615042.post-49696951606964941702007-04-16T20:34:00.000-05:002007-04-16T20:34:00.000-05:00Wow!

I hope that you get some help in there to fix your problems, otherwise if someone catches you, you could be the next big story in Texas. Good job teaching them how to cheat all year!<BR/><BR/>Reading this reminded how the day before our big state test the counselor who'd been set to check our rooms told the Spanish teacher she had to cover all her posters. Not one word of English anywhere on her walls, but somehow those posters might have been a help. Okay... The ELL kids tested in her classroom--if only some posters with elementary Spanish words might have helped them.HappyChyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586840416488114845noreply@blogger.com
