This thread has become a compilation of stories about unions, other teachers, and administrators. It is no longer a discussion on reading comprehension, though I personally find it very interesting to hear the many diffferent experiences people have in their given situations. I have marked it "OT" in the subject line for "off topic" so that those that tune in to this list to discuss and hear about reading comprehension can quickly scan or delete these messages if they choose.
I think the reason we all feel so passionate about this is we recognize that one of the difficulties of education is the system itself and not just what happens in our own classrooms. Unions, administrators, teacher committment, all of these things vary from school to school and district to district. The variety of frustrations and counter-frustrations are a reflection of that variety. So where can we go with this on this list? Is there something productive that can come of it for us? Or do we just need a place to vent and be heard? In any case, let's be sure to mark these comments off topic in the subject line as a courtesy to the other members of the list who may tune in solely for learning about reading comprehension. :)Bonita _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
