In many cases I see teachers spending more time doing the paperwork required by NCLB than teaching. NCLB has done more to harm our educational system then anything else in our history. I wrote a lot of papers on the subject when I was in school.Ann Wallace Laisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277316318931903639.post-28333534097183103802013-09-30T20:14:21.773-05:002013-09-30T20:14:21.773-05:00P Jaye, thank you for your quick response and comm...P Jaye, thank you for your quick response and comments. I don't know where you are, but your comment reads SW MN. I can only assume that means Southwestern Minnesota. Between this note and your blog post, I'd like to connect and see about having me visit your school one day. <br /><br />I know about your quote, "Will you borrow me a pencil?"<br /><br />One that bothers me all the time is, "Will you loan me some money?"<br /><br />I could go on, but you get my point. I look forward to meeting you.<br /><br />Thanks again,<br /><br />Mike PatrickAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17370252221666384654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277316318931903639.post-52625534668733174482013-09-30T19:07:52.230-05:002013-09-30T19:07:52.230-05:00Many school administrators like to tell us where w...Many school administrators like to tell us where we're AT! I prefer to know where we ARE.<br /><br />Commercials - Jingles - TV character's sayings - T-Shirts - Songs - Not wanting to say NO to children, so not correcting them - Colloquialisms - SW MN... "will you borrow me a pencil" <br /><br />Newscasters are the ones I'd like to see do it RIGHT.... I've heard more and more of them goof up now too.<br /><br />Good luck with this Mike.PJayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02443679696031512173noreply@blogger.com
