Here’s what’s really been chappin’ my hide lately:

1.  People saying, “I don’t have time.”  Arrgggg.  You make time for what you think’s important.

2. Teachers using the “we’re preparing them for college” excuse when assigning homework.  I don’t know about you, but I went to a college where I spent three hours a day in class and then only wrote papers and studied for tests after class.  What kind of colleges did these people go to?

3. Saying you believe in something and then doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to make it happen. 

 4. Blaming the students for data results, as in:  this group of students is really low, or has discipline issues, or gets no support from home, or (pick anything else)

 5.  Requiring students who take a standardized test in Spanish to have a higher passing rate than those students who take it in English.

6. Spring Break is still 8 weeks away.
