I'm not sure... I have an impression of having seen this one before.
But it's funny, and oh, so true... Worth repeating, IMO.
From: R.P.
Have you heard about the next planned "Survivor" show? Three
businessmen and three businesswomen will be dropped in an elementary
school classroom for 1 school year.
Rules of engagement:
*Each business person will be provided with a copy of his/her school
district's curriculum, and a class of 28 - 32 students.
*Each class will have a minimum of five learning-disabled children,
three with A.D.D., one gifted child, and two who speak limited English.
Three students will be labeled with severe behavior problems.
*Each business person must complete lesson plans at least 3 days in
advance, with annotations for curriculum objectives and modify,
organize, or create their materials accordingly. They will be required
to teach students, handle misconduct, implement technology, document
attendance, write referrals, correct homework, make bulletin boards,
compute grades, complete report cards, document benchmarks, communicate
with parents, and arrange parent conferences. They must also stand in
their doorway between class changes to monitor the hallways.
*In addition, they will complete fire drills, tornado drills, and [Code
Red] drills for shooting attacks each month.
*They must attend workshops, faculty meetings, and attend curriculum
development meetings. They must also tutor students who are behind and
strive to get their 2
non-English speaking children proficient enough to take the Terra Nova
and PSSA tests. If they are sick or having a bad day they must not let
it show.
*Each day they must incorporate reading, writing, math, science, and
social studies into the program. They must maintain discipline and
provide an educationally stimulating environment to motivate students
at all times. If all students do not wish to cooperate, work, or learn,
the teacher will be held responsible.
*The business people will only have access to the public golf course on
the weekends, but with their new salary, they may not be able to afford
it. There will be no access to vendors who want to take them out to
lunch, and lunch will be limited to thirty minutes,
which is not counted as part of their work day. The business people
will be permitted to use a student restroom, as long as another
survival candidate can supervise their class.
*If the copier is operable, they may make copies of necessary materials
before, or after, school. However, they cannot surpass their monthly
limit of copies. The business people must continually advance their
education, at their expense, and on their own time.
*The winner of this Season of Survivor will be allowed to return to
their job.
