I would not worry until your evaluation affects your paycheck! I
don't think a lesson or evaluation is ever perfect. Each class I
teach gets a little better through-out the day as I tweak the
lesson. So if I am evaluated and the administrator counts off for
something, no big deal. We am not perfect! Now if he/she starts
coming in ever few days, I would be concerned.
