I feel your pain. I hope this passes soon. I wonder if the
principals even know if the standards that we write on the walls are
correct. I can't believe that administrators don't have better
things to do. I love it when they try to make us believe that doing
the extra documentation and standards crap won't take up a lot of our
time. I don't have any time to plan, gather materials, or just
straighten up my classroom because of all this dog and pony stuff. I
hope that Georgia doesn't lose a bunch of great teachers because of
this trend. A federal job and a cubicle is sounding better all the
time. LOL
