Michaelduplessis: I take it the class was HARD; like I said, all the people teachinf spec ed were way cool in that intensive I did but I could NOT do what they do--like lift at least 50 lbs!! (for starts)
idagolightly: ????
idagolightly: when is lifting involved?
Michaelduplessis: why don't you? I'm firing up my writing career again--doing traslations/performances, blah blah Hollywood (alt)
idagolightly: i'm just not feeling it i think it died 2 years ago
Michaelduplessis: I think you have to be able to lift students--they always specify you hav eto lift at least 50 lbs
Michaelduplessis: nooooooooooooooo
idagolightly: no no no
Michaelduplessis: UR writing is so good
idagolightly: thats just for the physically "challenged"
idagolightly: aww keep saying that and maybe it will breathe
idagolightly: 'i'm hoping this move will do something
idagolightly: i'm putting my desk in front of the window
Michaelduplessis: yeah, but don't you have to do that as part of the cert? i was at a meeting taking notes and the dude (some LA school official) was saying that 80% of all stiudents labeled as special ed are not in fact "developmentally disabled"
Michaelduplessis: write write write
Michaelduplessis: i liked UR writing, so write for me
idagolightly: my job deals with more of the mental than physical
idagolightly: if for you then i must'
Michaelduplessis: what did you cover in the special learner?
Michaelduplessis: oh ya, you must!!!!!!
idagolightly: oh the whole lot of them
Michaelduplessis: Did you do Bloom's mofo taxonomy?
idagolightly: yea
idagolightly: i'm familiar with bloom
Michaelduplessis: HOTS? (Higher Order Thinking Skills)?
idagolightly: oh god stop
idagolightly: all the damn acronyms
Michaelduplessis: that's my life too, you know--the "special ed" "kids" are taking the fall for why a lot of schools are "failing" the No Child Left Behind deal
Michaelduplessis: HOTS HOTS
Michaelduplessis: :-D
idagolightly: oh lets not talk politics!
Michaelduplessis: OK:-$
Michaelduplessis: as I say, I work with this for $$$$
Michaelduplessis: let's make that $
idagolightly: fucking bastard what does he care he used to fry them
idagolightly: yea i'm making money and the benefits and all that jazz
Michaelduplessis: TOTALLY!!!! U R LIKE THE ONLY OTHER PERSON WHO SEEMS TO KNOW THAT
Michaelduplessis: u have benefits???
Michaelduplessis: i perform sexual favors for benefits
idagolightly: ahahahahahaha! oh sometimes i think that would be better
Michaelduplessis: what happens if u fail the online class? take it again?
Michaelduplessis: well, u'll b close to Colfax where I used to turn tricks
idagolightly: yea - i just started so i'm sure i could get a freebie - besides i think i only need 9 credit hours a year so i can make it up
idagolightly: god i suck - going to school so i can teach and i fail a class
Michaelduplessis: oh, let it go then
idagolightly: so does that mean i can stop doing this damn case study?
Michaelduplessis: it totally happens--i did an Ed cred that the US doesn't recognize and I was failing
Michaelduplessis: DO ~NOT~ TALK TO ME ABOUT CASE STUDIES
idagolightly: ahahahahaha!
Michaelduplessis: i had to tell my boss that I couldn't turn in the three case studies I have been working on since June 2day
Michaelduplessis: i mean, Ed is HARD!!!
idagolightly: oh my!
Michaelduplessis: it's like science and stuff
idagolightly: its just very methodical and scientific
idagolightly: jinx
Michaelduplessis: I asked my boss if tis meant that she was going to fire me, and she said no, why? and I said, I kinda thought fucking up big time would mean getting fired
Michaelduplessis: totally--like you can't just interpret
idagolightly: what was her response?
idagolightly: you cant even bullshit!
Michaelduplessis: if it's any consolation 2 u, i'm struggling--much more so than as college professor--it's the real world, baby
Michaelduplessis: she was cool; I like my boss; she's tough but OK
idagolightly: yea - its more security but i liked the professor gig now
Michaelduplessis: yeah, that was my first shock, like I can't bullshit?! help!!
idagolightly: ahahah - atleast i'm not along
idagolightly: alone
Michaelduplessis: ya, but if u think about it, we R making a difference :-D
Michaelduplessis: totally; as I say, I have been battling
idagolightly: yea that was the americorp motto
Michaelduplessis: not that U shouldn't write
Michaelduplessis: well, I do sort of buy into it
idagolightly: 'it is true
Michaelduplessis: working this job has taken me places I never would have gone if I'd stayed a prof (mentally)
idagolightly: i try to subvert the process as often as possible
Michaelduplessis: oh ya, that's why my boss is cool because she believes in education research as social change
idagolightly: awesome!
Michaelduplessis: still, when you are crunching #s at 4 AM, that seems vague, somehow
idagolightly: i havent seen 4 am in sooo long
idagolightly: i cant believe i'm up right now
Michaelduplessis: only to get up at 5 AM to be at a school; why do they start so goddamn early
idagolightly: yea its horrid
Michaelduplessis: i know; my insomnia does not = this job
idagolightly: i am supposed to get there by 7:45 but i can never arrive before 8
Michaelduplessis: o god, like i could club even if i could afford it
idagolightly: i think this job has cured mine
Michaelduplessis: ya, i'm just chronically 1/4 hour late; they kind of adjust
Michaelduplessis: same here
idagolightly: my boss is a freak and gets mad every day - i'm all well write me up but that 15 min is not going to change
