Just wanted to share and email I received from my principal...
Subject: The next season of Survivor
Next Season on Survivor
Have you heard about the next planned 'Survivor' show?
Three businessmen and three businesswomen will be
dropped in an elementary school classroom for 1 school
year. Each business person will be provided with a
copy of his/her school district's curriculum, and a
class of 28 - 32 students.
Each class will have a minimum of five
learning-disabled children, three with A.D.D., one
gifted child, and two who speak limited English. Th
ree students will be labeled with severe behavior
problems.
Each business person must complete lesson plans at
least 5 days in advance, with annotations for
curriculum objectives and state frameworks... and then
modify, organize, or create their materials
accordingly. They will be required to teach students,
handle misconduct, implement technology, document
attendance, write referrals, correct homework, make
bulletin boards, compute grades, complete report
cards, document benchmarks, communicate with parents,
and arrange parent conferences. They must also stand
in their doorway between class changes to monitor the
hallways. In addition, they will complete fire
drills, tornado drills, and [Code Red] drills for
shooting attacks each month.
They must attend workshops, faculty meetings, and
attend curriculum development meetings. They must also
tutor students who are behind and strive to get their
2 non-English s peaking children proficient enough to
take the Stanford, Terra Nova, Diagnostics and MCAS
tests. If they are sick or having a bad day they mu st
not let it show.
Each day they must incorporate reading, writing, math,
science, and social studies into the program. They
must maintain discipline and provide an educationally
stimulating environment to motivate students at all
times. If all students do not wish to cooperate, work,
or learn, the teacher will be held responsible.
The business people will only have access to the
public golf course on the weekends, but with their new
salary, they may not be able to afford it. There will
be no access to vendors who want to take them out to
lunch, and lunch will be limited to thirty minutes,
which is not counted as part of their work day. The
business people will be permitted to use a restroom,
as long as another survival candidate can supervise
their class.
If the copier is operable, they may make copies of
necessary materials before, or after, school. However,
they cannot surpass their monthly limit of copies. The
business people must continually advance their
education, at their expense, and on their own time.
The winner of this Season of Survivor will be allowed
to return to their job.
Pass this to your friends who think teaching is easy,
and to the ones who know it's hard!
