Again with the cognitive coaching. That Ridder would appear with Cantwell and Doshier kills the last few shreds of respect I have for him. He might claim he has 80 teachers interested, but what they do is ask untenured teachers who don't think they can say no or who feel flattered for being recognized. It's the norm here, no pun intended. Waste of money when there isn't enough money to go around to provide basic learning needs for the students or decent raises for certified and classified staff. Boo hiss. Just say no.

So much for teacher-driven PD. Ridder told us last year that teachers would determine what PD they will receive. I'm still waiting for that. So far it's been a study of a ridiculous book that is insulting it's so simplistic and wasted meeting time. What teachers asked for this PD day? The same ones who want cognitive coaching? Count me out.

Ridder was brought us by our elitist..Banwart,Nodler(his friend),Gratz and Ms.Sally...we got the last three from Likeable Landis and Ruinous Randy Steele..Ridder is impressed with himself and his template of feel good progressive pablum.They will approve this bill because big ego Koch is now a Ridder puppet.WATCH OUT FOR RIDDER SELECTING HIS REPLACEMENT. Where oh where has excellence in education gone in Joplin.
