Re: JBHM needs to buck up their own business

JBHM is a total joke. It is a bunch of burned out
incompetent retired teachers who love to tell other
teachers what to do--you know the ones--the ones that none
of the rest of us can stand anyway. I know two
consultants personally and I know exactly what kind of
teachers they were. lol It is just like the state mentor
and assessment program with the scripting and the
checklists. They are supposed to be helping
and 'coaching' but I think that the coach doesn't know
what he is talking about. I know that it is his first
year with the JBHM propraganda, I mean company. His
methods are horrible and he is a prude! If your district
says that they are going to get JBHM, you had better start
protesting now.
