Holy catfights, Batman! I'm so glad I've only JUST
discovered the nola.com ed. forum board. If I'd seen it
prior to relocating, well, I don't know. All I know is that
I glimpsed the bitter abyss completely devoid of light &
never, ever want to go back there. I'd like to issue here &
now a warning to new & aspiring NOLA teachers: stick w/
this board. I sincerely appreciate (esp. now) that posters
here are supportive & helpful, with the best interest of
students in mind (isn't that why we're here, after all?).
I'm shocked by the petty bickering and name-calling that
goes on at nola.com, not to mention how embarrassed I am to
see teachers behaving like disrespectful children--yikes!
So, thanks folks, for making and keeping this board a safe
and POSITIVE place in which to pose
questions/observations/comments. Now that kudos have been
dispensed, I am seeking some information (you didn't think
I'd let you off that easily, did you?). I've been accepted
by teachNOLA, & believe that may be helpful in securing a
teaching position. But, it IS a bit late in the game, and
I'd like to take an active role in getting hired. So I went
to the RSD website & saw openings listed, but the listings
didn't reveal the specific schools' addresses or names. I'm
hoping there might be some way for me to find/apply to
schools with openings not too far from my neighborhood of
Bywater. Is anyone aware of a way to gain specific info. on
schools with openings? I would appreciate any tips or info.
you may offer.

Time to get out. Things are getting even more crazy.
I have to use technology in the classroom every day,
meaning a computer, even though I don't have a computer in
my classroom. Overhead doesn't count. TV doesn't count.
Try using a computer without a computer.
I have to turn in my tests in advance for approval. I
can't give the test if it is not approved. Every test.
I have to keep a test log. I have to break down how
students did on each question. How many passed or
failed. There is a special form for doing this. Every
question. Every test.
And I have to follow the comprehensive curriculum whether
it is for the best or not. Things I've done 15 years that
have been very successful I can't do any more without
going through some long approval process in which it is
assumed that I am just trying to get out of doing
something. It isn't worth it. I just follow the
curriculum now and do the activities and make sure I post
a lot of thinking maps and things on the walls so that
people will come in, see that I'm using the curriculum,
see something on the wall, and talk about how great I am
doing.
I could be creating artificial life or cold fusion in my
science lab, but if it wasn't on the curriculum I would
get docked for being a bad teacher.
Form over substance. It doesn't matter how good the
teacher is or what the students are learning as long as
you complete all your forms, get your tests approved,
complete the test form, and post some pretty things on
your walls. Morehouse Parish is going to hell and most
people who can have gotten out or just decided to fake it
for the central office because they don't want to leave.
And most are afraid to gripe because there WILL be
retaliation.
No one has ever questioned my students' test scores. I've
always been held out as a good example. But now if I'm
not in lock step, suddenly I'm a bad teacher.
3) All teachers must keep a test log. This log includes
the number of students who passed or failed, the type of
questions asked, a breakdown of how students performed on
each question, etc. She said there is some big
spreadsheet that has to be done. What a nightmare.
4) Central office staff are out and about all the time,
checking lesson plans and if they are following the CC.
Of course we knew he would do this.
I'm retiring after this year. And good riddance. I feel
bad for those who stay and for the kids though.
