hmmm...what to write?

Wow! It's been a while since I've posted one of my many brilliant thoughts. I guess it's time for yet another.

Only one more week until Spring Break! This is just one of the many reasons I am a teacher. I love Spring Break! Hopefully the weather will get the memo and not snow during my time off. I think we are going to take the girls camping. This should be fun. I'm sure I'll come back with several good stories from that trip.

So on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, my school will undergo the SACS review. Our school has been working ALL year long getting ready for this team to come in. We have spent countless hours writing a really long book on our school. This book lists all our pros and cons, dreams and asperations, and any kind of statistic you could ever possibly want on our school. We have gift baskets, a room with snacks, and a check (yes that's right we have to pay them) for all of these people. We do all this for a group of five or six people from another county. I'm not going to say which county, but let's just hope they have all their teeth.

We have spent all this time and money so that these people can tell us what a great job we are doing and what areas we need work on. Like we don't already know that! I keep thinking of all this time wasted on writing this book telling them how good we are, could've been spent on, oh I don't know...teaching?!

welcome back...i'd read your previous entry about 8 times!

I don't know much about SACS, but they sound like a bunch of sad sacks of sap. (I get an "A" for alliteration)

And hopefully none of them read your blog. =)

ha! Actually today wasn't that bad. I think once we all realized they weren't out to get us :)
