Homeless

I think rule number one of buying a house should be "believe no one - they're all liars."

As of Sunday night, I will be homeless because my Mortgage company has basically lied since day one. All month long I've heard it will be "done" by the end of the month... I'm not sure what they believe the word done means, but is not the dictionary definition. BTW, it will not be done before the end of the month and I doubt it will be done with in the next week. Stupid me believed these ejits (National City Mortgage- YOU SUCK!) and scheduled my move out date for this weekend. I believed I had given myself a cushin of movement... after all, it will be the beginning of April... but alas it is not.

These ejits (National City Mortgage - YOU SUCK!) have given me every excuse known. Besides the usual, lost paper work and non-reply of various information sources, I was a victim of a fallen crane. Additionally, the entire banking system is populated with unprofessional children who will purposely fuck with everyone's life if anyone dare to call and ask if documents have been received and looked at. I knew about the horrendous fees that some banks rack up in nefarious recording scams, but I didn't think is was that pervasive or personal.

Given my recent experiences, I'm not sure why people would say that teachers have it easy because they have summers off. These banking people only work until 3pm, take every Friday off, get every holiday off that was ever invented (Kwanza? Arbor Day? ) and apparently do as little work as possible with no one to stop them for fear of being financially ruined. No more constantly paying for courses to update my skills - not only will the employer pay for it, but most of can be slept through anyways! If I knew I wouldn't have to work next to these ejits, I'd switch careers.

OH NO!!! This makes me so sad (and angry) to hear. I hate that this is happening to you. I'm so incredibly proud of you for buying a house, but I'm so pissed for you that it is going so horribly. I truly hope things will work out and that a miracle will happen and they will come through.

“They Don’t Get It”

I hear that a lot these days. It used to be mostly from various teens trying to negotiate the drama unfolding in their lives as they wandered into that no-man’s land between adult and child. These days it’s from adults trying to navigate the education scene these days. So many people talking and no one listening. The other day I was reading a post by a blogger I’ve been following for several years. Before there was such a thing as “blogging.” We all know spring is IEP review season. This blogger wrote about his daughter’s. Among the various elements, there was the discussion about the state assessment tests. She did not pass. There was discussion about what this means… and why said student needed to pass this test. Would she be taking a modified test? While reading, all I could think about was what would happen to that child as she entered middle school and high school. A history of not passing the assessment test vs. teachers who will now be evaluated on how many students pass t...

The Cruelest Month

I know T.S. Eliot favored April as the most cruel, but we teachers know that May is… even more so these days. Most importantly, it is the final testing month. National ‘assessments, state ‘assessments’, district ‘assessments’, school ‘assessments’… on and on. It’s impossible to actually get anything done. Toss in graduation activities, planning for the upcoming year and the 2011 bonus, lay-offs and transfers, and you have to wonder if it wouldn’t be better to save money by simply shutting down school entirely except for a few test proctors. Meanwhile, there seems an air of hopelessness permeating the education world. Plans to lay-off thousands are coming to fruition. Schools are being closed, despite protests. Charters are increasing where they can whether they should not. Unions have lost a lot ground and teachers are trying to decide if it’s even worth it any more to continue talking about education . ( not that I blame anyone for that, we all have lives to live ) For myself, I...

Campaign Promises

While purusing the Sunday paper, I came across an article describing some local candidate forum held over the weekend. Apprently they either weren't able to say a lot or what they said was pretty boring because the article was skimpy on specifics. What caught my eye was a position of Randy Dutton. He wants "higher standards for teachers." My interest was piqued... what kind of standards? In looking at his website, apparently those standards will be raised by carrying a gun to school, finally; "full days of school"-whatever that means - personally I'd love to put in business hours. No more 5 am wake ups; increasing the number of k-8 schools - because those kindergartners don't swear enough; sending disruptive students to placed like Habit for Humanity - babysitting is what people volunteer for; and teaching more American History- too bad that with all the testing, no one ever gets past the Civil War... I'm not sure how any of these apply to teachers, ...
