Weeeeeeee!!!!!

Yay so happy.  I passed my training and am certified for the online job.  I'm excited to be done with that.  And it did not take nearly as long as I thought it would.  They have you sign up for a 4 hour session but don't tell you how long it should take until you actually start your session.  They said about an hour and it took me about 45 minutes.  So P has Lily out of the house thinking he needed to be gone for a few hours.  That mean I have the house all to myself for awhile.

Also weeeeeeee on the snow we are supposed to be getting this weekend.  Last night they said 10-12 inches.  This morning it was 15 inches but then by the end of the morning news they are back to 7-12 inches.  I'm just happy for a snowy weekend with my fam, making soup, and being lazy together.

  • BTW - if the responses I graded were real, I no longer wonder why they are lowering the testing standards.  I can't talk specifics, but let me just say, OUCH!  I was grading content not grammar.  I think that's part of the problem - not grading grammar.  It made me wish I had a red pen.  Maybe I should go back for my secondary education English degree, eh?

  • I'm so glad you passed the training, What type of job is it again? You mentioned grading, Enjoy your kid free time.

    DH got home at 9 last night and is probably not going to be home until the same time again tonight. It stinks when he is at school so late. So I have the very opposite of kid free time. LOL!

  • Congrats on passing! :)

    My dad used to hate how my non-english teachers would grade on content and not grammar.....

  • I had to keep reminding myself to over look the misspelled words and bad grammar.

    Megan - it's grading English exam questions for a test that California is making their students take. That's why its a contract job. Once they are done giving the exam, the job is over. But they have several different jobs. I know there is also an opening for grading exams for another state as well.

  • Yeah, ETS is praxis too I believe. And GREs. 

    Congrats on the job though! And I know, it's crazy that exams aren't judged on that, but it's part of the new school culture. I'm not allowed to give a student anything less than a 50%. Even the kid that spend the entire clay unit throwing clay across the classroom and did absolutely nothing.

  • I just think that's crazy!!!  If they don't do the work then they should get a zero. 

    And I guess I was celebrating a bit too soon.  Apparently there are two different training/certifications to do.  But I passed the first one. Scheduled my second one for tomorrow.

  • Thanks!!!  I did pass the second portion.  It was a lot more complicated.  More what I was expecting for the first certification.  And this time I was grading essays for three things.  One of those things was grammar.  YAY!
