What is a true eclectic to do when her passions lead her in different directions?
This is a blog for the unfocused, the round pegs in the square holes, the short-attention span types, and all those who just can't bring themselves to join the ranks and adhere to a single category of activities or interests...whether sketches, drawings and comics, fixing an old farmhouse in Oregon, or whatever else strikes my fancy.

Maxine's BD: Attending a Conference on Education (06-23-09)
...Where Maxine gets an education in the field of Education.
Hilarious, as always. Yes, there is way too much hogwash in the education community, and it all comes from the top. The teachers in the trenches are the ones who suffer from the pie-in-the-sky administrators.
First visit...LOL. Didn't they cover SOLs (Standards of Learning), must be posted on the black (sorry...white) board for each lesson? Oh, and no little self-esteems can be neglected, and let's reorganize the school system every 2 years, change out the math program, get new "decoding" reading methods, and move more folks into administration. While we're at it, bring in some more consultants.

ReplyDeleteI love your gift, and your sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy first time visiting Maxine and her adventures will NOT be my last.
Thanks for the kind comments!
ReplyDeleteI agree totally about the education field. Way too full of jargon and not nearly enough doing things. Geat job!
