Public education in Texas is in BIG trouble! We have a
politician in Austin who is from Arlington, and is the
head of the education committee. His name is Kent
Grusendorf anf he hates teachers! He blames teachers for
his son's suicide, and has been punishing teachers since
he was elected. If he gets re-e...See More/blockquote>
Public education in Texas is in BIG trouble! We have a
politician in Austin who is from Arlington, and is the
head of the education committee. His name is Kent
Grusendorf anf he hates teachers! He blames teachers for
his son's suicide, and has been punishing teachers since
he was elected. If he gets re-elected, we will lose our
continuing contracts. We'll also lose our 22-1 class cap
for K-3, and our 30-minute duty-free lunch (I never knew
those existed until I came to Texas!) He supports
vouchers, which as we all know takes money from public
education. There is a lady running against him this year
who has a good chance of defeating him. Her name is Diane
Patrick. Early voting for this primary election is Feb
21 - March 3, and the regular election is March 7. We
have it on good authority that he plans to initiate a
nasty smear campaign against her just prior to the
primary. Those of us who care about our children are
asking that voters who live in District 94 call, write, or
email their friends and family to ask them to vote for
Diane Patrick. We're even asking those dyed-in-the-wool,
straight-Democrat-ticket voters to, JUST THIS ONCE, to
vote in the primary, vote early, and vote for Diane
Patrick. If you have friends or family in the Arlington,
Texas, area please forward this email to them and ask them
to help us defeat Kent Grusendorf. Thanks, and have a
great rest-of-the-year!

Any thoughts on this school district? I like a little more
laid back and rural, but I don't think this school district
has this. I see many schools on year round tracks. Would
you have to pack up your room, so that another teacher can
use your room when you are off track? Any thoughts
appreciated.

I have a parent who was a literacy coach in UT. I'm sorry I
can't tell you where because I don't know. Her name is W.
Jensen. I would appreciate any info.
Thank you.

Hi Utah teachers! I'm a fellow teacher who just happens to
live in Ga. I teach 4th grade. I just got a new student from
your state. According to the new student (and his mom), you
guys don't use textbooks, but EVERYTHING is hands on! That
is wonderful! I was wondering how true that is, and if it is

Hi Utah teachers! I'm a fellow teacher who just happens to
live in Ga. I teach 4th grade. I just got a new student from
your state. According to the new student (and his mom), you
guys don't use textbooks, but EVERYTHING is hands on! That
is wonderful! I was wondering how true that is, and if it is
true, how do you teach things like Social Studies and Math
without a book? I can understand Science being hands-on. I
feel like I do many hands-on activities in class, but I'd
love to hear what Utah is doing to make your schools so
great!:-) My new student is a smart kid who is really having
a hard time adjusting to the way Georgia does things. I'm
trying to make his transition as easy as possible. Anyway,
share your secrets!:-) Ally 4th

My family is relocating to Utah after the current school
year. He is a regional rep, so we can live anywhere.
What areas are doing the most hiring. I have my National
Board Certification, will that help? I am K-8 certified,
11 years experience.
In general, what are job prospects like in Utah???

I would like to connect with a teacher in Utah who has taken
Robert Calfee's reading training.

We need a teacher from Utah to join our postcard
exchange. If you are interested, please email me. I need
your school address and an email. I'll email you the list
as soon as it is complete.
Thanks,

I've taught in Utah. Don't believe everything. Yes, we
still use books here, for every subject.
