school is nuts

lots of things going on in the school this week. teachers are being observed by administrators constantly, students are getting written up like crazy, and beyond it all, TAKS test is coming up. the kids can feel the mounting pressure and, for sure, the teachers feel it. i think standardized tests are a pain and cause more headaches then they are worth. but hell, its the system i work in. enough about all that.


tax returns will be filed for today and i am surely looking forward to that. this year will be the first time i file as a married person. apparently i get more money, so i am down with the clown.

i spotted this on another blog. if you would like to see my classroom, click this.
