A first hand account of the problems teachers face dealing with government initiatives.

When I was student-teaching I recall how stressed out my master-teacher got when a couple of new students were placed in her class midway through the school year. It was a lot more disheartening after she evaluated their grade levels in the various subjects (below level). It reminds me of when I used to work as a dishwasher. I always busted my ass trying to finish washing all the dishes in the sink. At about the time that I had about 2 or 3 dishes left, someone would come by and fill up the sink with dirty dishes. It was a never ending task. In many ways education is the same way. In the end I quit the dishwashing job because it was driving me crazy. But I digress. I think that our own “governor” is doing a real good job scaring everyone out of education. Come on now, trying to get the voters to pass a proposition that will put new teachers on a 5-year probationary period is absurd. The school districts would be able to fire you for any reason for five years! Just great.
