I stopped by Life in the Rubber Room and found Ed's link to Pissed Off Teacher. I don't know why it is that I spend so much time reading NYC teacher blogs, but man are they ever good. Pissed Off Teacher is a 30 year veteran math teacher who alternates between high achieving math classes and lower-achieving math classes. Make sure you're not wearing a suit, 'cause she doesn't like 'em. There are good suits, and probably good principals, she opines. She just hasn't met any good principals yet.
My favorite quote of the moment is a directive from the AP to the department:
"Every teacher is expected to conduct bell-to-bell lessons, even though the bell is not working."
Do yourself a favor and read this blog!

Thanks for the nice comments! I'm not really as bad as I sound. Blogging is just a good release for some of my pent off anger. It beats taking it out on my husband.
You're welcome. I don't think you're bad at all-- just honest. I think you and I would get along famously, were we to teach together. Keep up the great blogging!
Thanks, and you do look lovely in your suit and tie.
