(no subject)
yeah, it's 1:30 in the morning. And why am I still up? Because I want to feel like I had a freaking weekend instead of just a continuation of the workweek.
I have so much grading and planning to do it's ridiculous. I liked this school because it seemed easy, but the work just keeps getting piled on.
So after the switch I am still finding my feet, but I am also expected to recreate 2 new yearly plans, do more in-depth lesson plans to turn in (though I'm not really sure if anyone reads them),coordinate a spelling bee and a non-fiction essay contest for the school and tonight I was told that everyone is supposed to write an end of the year test for each grade level and subject. That means 5 tests, poring over the TEKS, for something that is complete bullshit. That's what the TAKS test is for. As much bullshit as it is, it is designed to tell you who knows their grade level, TEKS related academics and who doesn't. What is the point of another test?!
I'm sick of all the make it up crap, and thats half of what I liked in the first place. Being a teacher sucks and I am going to bed.
