What you is?

August 8, 2007 at 10:11 AM

If you need a translation, that means "What do you teach?" It's the third day with students-will I know my schedule yet, or will I be babysitting more loud 8th graders who want to know if my hair is real (as if I would really weave in frizzy semi-gray stuff!). And, as a bonus, it's predicited to be 101 degrees today. Does it get any better?

I hope you refused to acknowledge questions formed of such innomilacananimous nebaroanisms of our native language.

You is the subject of my sympathy.

I personally feel that the young people use the word "like" a bit too much.

Our students come back Wednesday... we're lucky the high schools are in good shape, at least my high school is, but I worked all summer on the roll-out of the bond IT gear for middle/elementary schools... try this:

1. Abestos abatement = no ceilings/floors in all the middle schools and half the elementary schools.

2. Rollout of 3E bonds, meaning 240-800 new computers in the above schools over the summer (except the ones with abestos abatement

3. Microsoft,HP and broadcom still can make a beta for a utility that works across MS server for wireless login to a secure network so we have 1400 new laptops that can't be used.

4. The school board, with no input from staff, parents, students truncated our summer by 2 weeks after the contracts for delivery (computers) and abatement were scheduled and signed.

5. We are not allowed to work Monday morning in our buildings, instead we must go see the new superintendent crowned at a pep-rally and waste 4 hours of taxpayer money plus 100,000 for the event.

errr "still can't" and we've been working with all three for a year to try and fix the problem.

I am so glad I spent time getting my labs ready... one last detail, electrical dropped the ball. They wired all electricity on the opposite walls from the computer jacks.

What a mess.
