Thankfully the govt officials insisted today that parents (while picking their kids after school) also fill the questionairre regarding the after school program (Supplemental Educational Services - SES) . They would be more reasonable certainly. Even the govt officials thought so.
Tomorrow is our last day - closing ceremony - food paid for by us teachers and brought from home by some parents -unlike the Black History month one - where the program office paid for the sumptious repast for all.

A truly challenging task - as faced by this teacher. I can relate to her becos I teach in Silver Spring, Maryland too- to students of similar demographics.
The children themselves have mood swings - a few openly declared to the school authorities yesterday in their annula survey that they did not like the teacher and the program -thats me. a few others wrote in support of me in the survey. I had planned to give them chocolates at the end of the class - and lo today those very ones were singing praises and fighting for me - against those who were at fault today and angry with my censure.
Even among all the SES After School students I think mine are the most challenging - the last teacher was really fired - an unprecedented step by top management - becos she was always partying with tem and teaching little. The children have fond memories of her though - and never hesistate to mention how good she was - and how mean I am (mostly after someone has had to change a card for incorrect behavior).
Change is difficult also becos those whom have to change don;t like change either. Thats part of the game.
is it?
