Text of the page (random words):
life at the morton school skip to main skip to sidebar life at the morton school if a doctor lawyer or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time all of whom had different needs and some of whom didn t want to be there and were causing trouble and the doctor lawyer or dentist without assistance had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher s job donald d quinn tuesday november 30 2010 a thankless job so cathie black to no one s surprise has been granted the necessary waiver to serve as chancellor i stand by my position that i m attempting to reserve judgment until she actually does something but in the meantime i m going to continue to speculate about the situation since it s all anyone is talking about anyway who wants to think about anything else with eighteen long school days remaining until the holiday break like many people i wonder still why black wants this job no one herself included is pretending that she has some kind of lifelong passion for education of any kind public or otherwise the public disapproves of the appointment with many believing she s being brought on primarily to right size the doe the highest echelons of state education administration have expressed serious reservations about her ability to do the job such that they have insisted that she take on a specific deputy shael polakow suransky to serve as a chief academic officer i think if ms black was a teacher those around her would quietly begin to discuss the counseling out process a lot of teachers don t make it a fact that s well known and silly not to talk about the job is not right for everyone that s not an admission of general incompetence lack of intelligence or lack of compassion it s a simple statement of fact that not everyone makes it because it is not the right fit for everyone even those who are well qualified on paper or even lovely people with many lovely qualities in real life it just doesn t work for everyone nothing you can do at this point is this job a good fit for ms black given a host of other choices anyone from michelle rhee to jesus christ or anyone in between would anyone who is not mayor bloomberg or one of his sycophants actually choose her on purpose and what is she going to get accomplished with this serious lack of support if i were ms black i would have graciously stepped aside weeks ago saying that after careful reconsideration i found the job to not be a good fit and would have offered my support to a different candidate ms black could still do that pointing to the excellent or at least better qualifications of mr polakow suransky and expressing confidence in his ability to take on the job solo why does she want this thankless job at this point seriously i m wondering posted by miss eyre at 12 00 am 0 comments sunday november 28 2010 there are 19 school days until the holiday break fyi hope you all enjoyed the all too short thanksgiving break i know i could have used one more day posted by miss eyre at 11 53 am 0 comments wednesday november 10 2010 miss eyre gets schooled on reality television student 1 miss eyre this

at miss eyre she can wear a tank top without showing all that business you can too posted by miss eyre at 2 34 pm 0 comments tuesday october 26 2010 the best of days the worst of days did i have a great day or a terrible day it s after 7 p m and i m still wondering let s look at the evidence from the text one of my advisees got into a truly dirrrrty girl fight today and because i happened to be in the hallway i got to babysit the girl she fought while waiting for a dean to pick her up because the two girls needed to be separated obviously two kids openly complained about their grades my lesson totally fell flat on the other hand one of the kids who complained about his grade actually came back after school and had a heart to heart with me about how he could do better the girl i babysat was in tears and i might have actually gotten her to calm down before she gave her statement another student came by after school to help me organize my classroom library and along with a couple of her friends we ended up having a really nice chat she even told me that i was her favorite teacher so far this year so great day or horrible day is it corny if i say that i secretly think it was great posted by miss eyre at 4 03 pm 0 comments sunday october 24 2010 no sports for you really yes really the principal of martin van buren high school is trying to drive sports out of the school rather than share a reaction that ought to be obvious i m going to share a rebutting anecdote instead i have a student this year jonathan who seems so far to be a bright and good hearted kid but he has issues for sure anger issues home issues friend issues he s in counseling already thanks to a quick and concerned counselor at my school who jumped right in when i alerted her to jonathan s problems i checked in with her the other day about jonathan s progress his attendance is better right she asked it is i said he s been in school every day and he s been late less good she said nodding he wants to go out for baseball and there s batting practice after school every day so he s getting here that should help sports are important to jonathan important enough that he ll overcome his aversion to school to play baseball and if we can get him there for baseball the academics will begin to sink in at least somewhat and then jonathan will have options other than baseball too sure it doesn t work that way for every kid but it works for an awful lot because student athletes have to get through a physical pass every subject and be present on game days you re also promoting health scholarship at least a minimal standard and attendance maybe ms shevell will save a few bucks or get a few distracted athletes graduated because of her new policy but i wonder if she won t also see a drop in attendance and a bigger drop in graduation rates as kids who were drawn in by sports find one less reason to show up every day posted by miss eyre at 3 26 pm 0 comments friday october 22 2010 let me get right on that like many of us i am working on finalizing grades for the first round of report cards already already i know i can t believe it on the last day of the marking period i was on my way back to my classroom after a visit to the supply closet a little while after the end of the last class of the day miss eyre i heard a voice call it was one of my students lee hi lee i said what s up um you got any extra credit i could do to bring my grade up you re kidding right i said incredulously no i want to bring my grade up lee i said i had two make up periods earlier this week the days and times were posted on the board all week i didn t see you at either of them well he said i was failing science then you made your choice right i asked but i want to bring my grade up he protested i made the outlandish suggestion that he should do more homework and studying and come to see me before 4 00 p m on the last day of the marking period next time he walked off in a huff
