Since we are in survival mode...

As of today I officially survived season #6 of High School Cross Country. State meet was great except I almost wanted to hitch a ride home with Branson, just to get me down ...but I didn't.
Officially 1/3 through the school years sports seasons. Now I get to arrive home at a normal time, I get to recuperate this winter, get healthy and rehab my injuries and be ready in Feb/March for Track season!

Then it would have been more correct to have said "Go Tech" since that was who they were playing yesterday.

Why is this coming up in the teacher's thread?

Oh yes!  It does feel good! 

I've only been to Dollywood once during the summer.  I've always wanted to visit at Christmas.  Maybe after retirement.  So, you'll have to watch their Babes in Toyland show and tell us if it's as lame as it looks.  I'm scared that it will come to SDC.

My friends tried to watch it last year and they fell asleep.
'Course I couldn't make it through the new show that Dolly produced out there either... now the SDC shows I have no problem with, so IDK.

[rubedugans]

Anyone else receive any literiture about this? Makes me really love I mean fear my job security.

Both Senate and House members in the Capitol this week confirmed the likelihood of renewed enthusiasm for attacks on worker rights and attacks on public education in the upcoming legislative session.   The results of the election are likely to have serious consequences for school employees and for public schools, and the Association will need unprecedented member effort and involvement to educate new legislators, advocate for a proven agenda in support of children and public education and to fight those proposals that threaten our public schools.
 
HOUSE AND SENATE SELECT NEW LEADERSHIP
 
Rep. Scott Dieckhaus has indicated that he expects to be picked to chair the House Elementary and Secondary Education Committee next year.  Rep. Dieckhaus filed legislation late last session on some of the key issues he plans to pursue: statewide expansion of charter schools, public school open enrollment, elimination of teacher tenure and a state-mandated teaching evaluation method.

Ugh! That sounds a bit scary! Does Republican control mean less for schools? 

[rubedugans]

Not a resounding yes, but traditionally they are for less change in the system. Not that either has what they need to make the schools work under No Child Left Behind, but I do not see this as the end all fix all. I do agree that teachers need to be responsible for the teaching, but I do not like the sound of the State mandated reviews, and a total lask of tenure. It just makes me question my profession...I just want to teach and forget about the legistative aspects passed on by those who have never set foot in a classroom on the other side of a desk.
