Out of a Job.

Hey there folks, here is the latest. My school closed at the end of the semester. Sure, the powers that be want higher test scores. My little school proved that this can be accomplished with smaller class size and access to technology. The problem is, that while smaller class size and higher test scores are desirable, no one can solve the ADA problem. Less students less money folks. No matter what the powers that be demand there is the catch-22. Do what we want, achieve these goals, but if you have too few students, you have too little money. Now the larger high school has some beautiful things, like a state of the art athletic field, a beautiful rubberized track, and 46 students to a classroom. How do they acheive the demand for smaller class size? Well they average the classes out. The resource class has 7 students, so if you average that out with an English class with 46 students you have an average class size of 26.5. Nice. And I thought I was mean. Life goes on, and I will probably substitute until I can find a job. Thanks to Arnold that will be a difficult proposition. Maybe I can get a job designing all of the new prisons we will be needing. See I still got it, mean as ever and a little angry, off I go to never, never land. See you when I land.
