ramblin educat skip to main skip to sidebar tuesday june 26 2012 bumper sticker politics remember one of the very last things i said here before i left you for facebook blog remember how i said that life was too nuanced to have a 150 character limit scroll up it s there reading facebook in an election year is enough to bring me back to the land of the paragraph what i like about facebook is the ease of sharing articles the wider audience the conversational interchange what i m seeing however is a rash of bumper sticker politics i m completely over the deep thinker who posts a quote and says end standardized testing or the pontificator who doesn t bother to share what has her riled about the state senator just calls him a racist fuck and for the record i give standardized tests and don t like them and i know the senator and he is sort of racist but how bout you prove you ve done the homework how bout you recognize that i m on facebook to see pictures of kids and condescending willy wonka snort he s funny and realize that i can t end standardized testing how bout you get off facebook where it s safe and you can just spout and go work to make change or research your opinions now for the record when i went to look up the number of characters allowed in a fb post i came across an article showing that this limit has been raised significantly anyone want to vote on whether or not it raises the level of discourse bet it won t but i m totally posting it anyway posted by educat at 6 26 2012 10 48 00 pm 1 comment sunday december 11 2011 blog van winkle rip van blogle rip blog winkle so in the past three years give or take i ve moved twice lost a sister gained a fiance and a cat and doubled my teaching load moved from a 4 period day to a 7 period day that said i barely read blogs anymore are people paying so much attention to facebook that blogs are the frontier again or even worse are they myspace it seems that teacher facebook scandals are bigger than anything the blogs were experiencing when last i was around it leads me to wonder if there s greater civility over here in the land of the full paragraph in fact as i remember it this was the very thing i had planned to write about when i left i won t get on facebook because i m a full paragraph gal prose civility status updates are for looky loos then we had a snow storm and i got on facebook turns out that talking with old from real life friends on the internet was much of what i needed to pull me out of a funk a funk that i later realized was the confusion of living with a sister whose frontal lobe was greatly compromised i think i m discovering that there s a place for all of this it s just a matter of what news goes where and i m not sure what news goes here now i am thinking big thoughts about my job what is all this testing going to do to us are the big changes happening in the biz going to kill public ed or is it just another change i m thinking about being married i m thinking about being forty because that happened too and if i have any business thinking of kids advice to you my reader don t ask does all of that belong here and is anyone listening remains to be seen i suppose thanks amerloc for the happy welcome back again we ll see what happens posted by educat at 12 11 2011 08 01 00 am 4 comments saturday december 10 2011 where i find the old educat costume packed away in mothballs um hi i ve been thinking about visiting here again no idea why no idea who is listening but as i think about what this blog was and who i was as it ended it s felt like a loose end if you re wanting a salacious answer like i was a man trapped in a woman s body or you ve heard that sasquatch walks in oklahoma go back to whatever you ve been doing for the past two years at the end of this blog i was living with my sister watching what we now know was a brain tumor squeezing out her judgement and personality in the process it hurt me and probably others in ways i m just now figuring out and in june of 2010 it took her life she d been married eight months and was 35 years old and it s awful it s horrible it s tragic and every possible bad adjective you could fine for this injustice but it was also the end of that aforementioned hurt and the beginning of some clarity how sad and embarassing to get clarity with a death i probably offended some folks when i couldn t cry too much in that first year she was gone i heard just last night that my sister s widower do people even say that feh say that i seem so happy i must have forgotten my sister oh did i tell you i m getting married imagine me knees together drawing a circle on the ground with my toe and grinning when i tell you i am i m moving because life demands we move i m moving because i grieved the loss of my sister for more than a year before she died and her death brought sense to some grief and i guess i wanted to say that here so it could safe don t tell him i said that ok i probably have more to say and it might happen but for now i m going to investigate all my comments i hear i can get some great deals on electronics posted by educat at 12 10 2011 06 37 00 am 2 comments wednesday june 24 2009 where i am mister teacher and others asked you should know i m alive lots of stuff has eaten my will to blog facebook is a big factor yeah i know it really didn t hurt when i made like a lemming and went off the cliff but i ve also just been framing thoughts differently in my head i ve been semi working on a possible stand up routine reading books the dog ate my weblog just haven t felt it tell you what i ll try to think toward blogging don t know how soon but i ll try posted by educat at 6 24 2009 05 37 00 pm 5 comments tuesday january 27 2009 ice melting we re in the teacher s parking lot after school yesterday and the ice has been falling since about 10am we already know there s no school the next day and so we re toting extra work to our cars and wanting to get home as soon as we can there are times that i just unashamedly love my job and my co workers and this moment was one two or three of the men are walking around with their big scrapers helping the ladies get their cars clean and a couple of us who happened to have de icer handy shuffled around spraying it on other cars everyone s mood was light while concerned that everyone will arrive safely at home it might be a strange thing to find so much grace in such a small thing but i slid home last night a bit warmer than i would have been posted by educat at 1 27 2009 11 04 00 am 6 comments saturday january 24 2009 relief for my backed up craw i once again need to get something out of my craw it s large and has been annoying me for some time i ll begin by describing one representative situation and then working into a meta conversation our semester began on january 6th on that day i met a whole new group of students for the first time january 9th was pumpkin s last day of class until the end of february she is leaving to have her baby the next morning i have an email in my box asking me to prepare work for pumpkin now they don t want this work all at once but i am being asked to prepare work for her for all seven weeks of her absence are you serious i asked a few people if i really was hearing correctly i asked her asst principal and her counselor if i was really supposed to supply this child with a textbook and page numbers and expect that those assignments would be equivilant to actually attending class their reaction was baffling yeah just give her the work like the entire experience of life in my classroom can be boiled down to a worksheet this struggle affixed to my craw and festered i took my plight to our next principal s advisory committee meeting and the story was met with similar outrage by the other teachers in attendance my head principal got it also oddly the counselor just sat there slackjawed completely failing to see the problem here here in the great state of oklahoma the class of 2012 must pass four of seven end of instruction exams in order to graduate high school schools must jump through their buttholes to document that pumpkin and those like her are given every bit of instruction and every possible chance to succeed however and i discovered this after a long hard read of state law regarding education we have no state attendance requirements so oklahoma what you re saying is that i could be sued for failing to educate a child who never bothered to show up in my classroom really my first steps to relieve my pain over this sitation is to finally answer the emails from the counseling office i assembled work for pumpkin with the following note attached is another couple of week s worth of work for pumpkin i apologize for the wait but it is impossible to prepare english ii as a correspondence course the work attached is not an equivalent for the work done in class despite my real and honest effort to give your student an equivalent experience please be aware that i am unsure if pumpkin will be prepared for her end of instruction exam by simply completing bookwork also i am happy to schedule a time for your student to make up the test over the three stories she was previously assigned i will cover details of the stories as well as the literary elements of plot mood and conflict completion of this work will bring pumpkin relatively up to date and i will start working now on the next batch of work thank you for understanding my difficult position i am concerned that the textbook simply can t provide all the learning we ve done in class luv and hearts ms educat and for the larger problem i am on this friends i am all up in this situation i m making plans to speak with state legislators about this my first approach will to listen a sort of a help me understand approach in fact is there any insight you have to this situation after that we start talking legislation ms educat is going to the capitol thank you and watch your step as you walk away all that stuff from my craw is lying around on the floor posted by educat at 1 24 2009 10 56 00 am 5 comments take the quiz here posted by
