Here is one from my principal:
"If you questions, please sees before completing any such documents. Thank you,..."
And one from a fellow teacher:
"The Voluneeterism committee decided to list ideas for volunteer opportunities on the public server. I have created folders with the different opportunites for teachers to add their ideas to.
If you approve could you please forward this to teachers. "
My principal approved and sent it on to us with the heading " Voluneetering Committee"
My husband substitutes in the middle school and he sees spelling errors all the time. It's no wonder!

yikes
I will lose my job if too many people start to read my blog. But I have to have to write.
I teach with so many amazing people. Our love of children and education is truly our call in life. Why else would we subject ourselves to the bullying that we endure?
We attended an workshop Monday when we should have had the time in our room- a teacher workday. But we took a class about putting environmental education into our curriculum. We pretended we were birds picking yarn worms from the ground, pretended we were parts of trees, and awarded a certificate so the school would be endorsed in the program. We were handed a textbook size book with activities in it. Yes they were cute activities, but really...how much did that book cost for each of us? I had to buy my own construction and lined paper for my class this year, been told no more copying, no more workbooks, no more printer cartridges, use the board. But they hand me this book that I will use to write maybe one lesson plan! Hardly well spent money. Grrr
Too annoyed about too many things to continue tonight.
Never before have I said I hate where the place that I work. I love my class, but I am beginning to think it's time for a change.
All these people that love to teach come to me with tears in their eyes about the mandates and bullying. My ears are burning and my heart races with the fear I may face if I lose my job over this blog, but I will continue to write. I need my job. I need my job.
