Watch Joplin R-8 Board of Education meeting live at 6 p.m.
Gee, Sarah S looks down and to the right and moves her chair back and forth every time she, shall we say, stretches the truth? That's not obvious or anything.
Sloan is teaching new teachers? What a freaking laugh out loud. When I had her all we ever did was worksheet after worksheet. She hated everyone but the studs and dance team girls. Wrote more referals than any teacher in school.
Good Gawd, Banwart, where have you been? There's no books for anyone but kids like yours. The rest of the kids get computers. They can't use a textbook alternative because there aren't any damn books to give them. That's what your parents are mad about. You board people are so stupid if you believe anything you just heard about what's happening in those rooms. I can't wait for conferences, but it isn't the teachers I'll be looking to talk to. I hope admin and board members are there.
Sarah looks down. Sloan does that sneering lip twitchy thing. Cravens looks like a goon. CJ talks fast when he's lying. I'm so glad I'm out of that district. It's awful there. Can't trust any of them.
Yes, Suzanne, Sarah did a wonderful job of representing you at MSSU. There must have been all of ten people in that room, and some of them were TLCs that she invited to fill up space during their paid school time. Good job, Sarah! Way to pack a room at taxpayers' expense. I don't guess there were any children back at the schools who needed their help at that time since the reading teachers are gone now.
Watch this yahoo, all slumped in his chair, arrogance dripping from every pore. CJ must stand for Cocky Jerk. There might be a fine line between confidence and conceit, but he is no where near that line. Any casual observer would be certain that every person in that room was his servant, and each feared his displeasure. I would have fired his fat little ass a long time ago.

ReplyDeleteThere are fewer referrals because there's not much point in writing one if all that is going to happen is the kids get a candy bar or a bag of chips.
