I try to be understanding, but after all the hoops and three years of successful teaching under my belt I am waiting three more weeks to find out if I got three lousy points on some lousy test to see if life can continue as I know it. It is just dumb. I have never in three years of teaching been offered even one criticism on an observation.

I'm desparate for 3 points. Absolutely desparate. I got the letter in school mail today about how I'm fired July 1, if I fail the test again. It was terrible to read those words. I feel like the letters were a bit premature as my class, which is also required, isn't over yet. And the technology credit I need will not be awarded until June 1 from my school.They just don't Darhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08234052781192131163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531815.post-71903185435005169862007-04-15T21:41:00.000-04:002007-04-15T21:44:14.228-04:00You must have prayed.

I'm a Spanish teacher who isn't fluent, and I can't find peace in that. I teach middle school, and I don't need to know everything to teach my class, but I continue to feel inadequate. I'm not good on the fly with unfamiliar subjects. Who would be?

My little brother is 18 and my little sister is 23. Gau.I am currently training for the PRAXIS in Spanish. I really want to pass. If I could pass through will power alone, I wouldn't even have to go--I want to pass that badly. The test is in Boone, so we're going to spend some extra time there, find the location, relax, enjoy the scenary. I need to improve my last score by 23 points.

The lack of tone of voice, gestures, and pauses create choppy conversations. Also, people will often not read an entire post, and then respond to only part of a post. They also allow for and promote too much digression from the topic.

Lucy- The Colts, Clara- The Bears. The pugs were taken outside to potty with the first to pee to be declared the winner.

I've not been doing too well, and now I feel very stressed. I want to do the right thing and be nice, but people keep getting all up in my stuff. This is vague, and I'm just venting.
