Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I hate that. We spend 20 minutes every other Friday doing Reading and Math skills which is basically test prep, but that's it. And, that's enough. They should be getting the content as part of the curriculum.
The Missouri tests are very high stake, so the schools don't mess around.
I'd be worried about the ability of J. Average 6YO to concentrate long enough to fill in bubble tests. Kids with more concentration abilities are going to test better, which... isn't a test of learning, per se.
She replied to me copying in the Dean and saying "Sorry, Dean, for copying you in on this totally unnecessary email."
If there is a just set of gods, the Dean will set her ass straight in terms of requesting the copy.
Mac has had "test prep" sections of homework in his math books since kinder or 1st that require bubble filling and/or circling. It has made him better about reading directions and he is totally familiar with filling in bubbles. He does not associate that with tests at all.
I emailed her for something she has been stalling on, and at the dean's request, copied in the Dean.

But the dean requested the cc, so presumably the dean is also thinking "Fuck you!" Or at least engaging in endless rolling of eyes.
Look at it this way: *you* know the professor just made herself look like an ass. That's got to be satisfying.
poor mac always has a wrong hypothesis and then is really unhappy about it.
Oh, poor mac. But finding out your hypothesis doesn't hold up is a good result! That's hard to internalize, of course, but it's true.
Grr, Sophia. I hope the dean remembers requesting being copied so that the professor looks foolish for that remark.
Hey, www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com totally came through for me just now! (It's not just me.)
I'm about to start a protest about the quality of the toilet paper in our building. The other building, new and shiny with all the executives, doesn't have crappy toilet paper.

You could send them that warning about the hazards of poor quality toilet paper that Tommyrot linked to yesterday. Do they really want to risk an OHSA investigation?
I just got the most snotty reply to an e-mail that I've seen in a while. I'm resisting the urge to forward it around to my coworkers so they can share my general feeling of "Okay, dude, you can bite me."
