Hi everybody. I'm back from the pool. Mary, what are you doing with kids already in July??? I'm finishing the last 40 hours of my 80 hour Field Experience at a year round school. Couldn't do it during the school year unless I took a week off. Took the first 40 hours last summer. Going to be there all week..I'm lovin' it!!!! Mary, that's great. One of my close friends is a preschool teacher for 4 year olds and she has some of the best stories. Look forward to hearing yours.

Be done in December, then I can start making those BIG bucks teachers make.... yea along with all the administrative S***

What is NCLB No child Left Behind....another screw up of our lovely government If a school does not test well and bring student performance up to the standards set by the government, then they cut funds, or even close the school. Like cutting funds will HELP the children. It isn't always the school's fault if students are below grade level...a lot of factors figure into it like income,home life etc. Also, it makes the teachers so bogged down with paper work that there is less time to teach. More paper work, more meetings...less pay! OK, I will shut up now....

There's got to be a better way. What is NCLB No child Left Behind....another screw up of our lovely government I so agree. My younger son, Brian. Started doing poorly in school when he reached middle School. I talked to everyone at the school and they told me he was lazy. He told me he couldn't do it. Finally in 10th grade my older son told me to have him tested for ADD. I thought he couldn't have ADD because he wasn't hyper. Well he does and a nonverbal learning disability. I felt so bad that this kid struggled until halfway through 11th grade. Put him aon Adderall and he won the award for most improved Grade point Average for his class this year. The system sent him to summer school and pushed him through. Last year I paid for private tutoring for Geometry just so he would learn what he needed to know. Keep fighting for the kids. Their parents need people who will help them understand
