Burrell, we wouldn't have restructured if we had gotten the grant. Essentially we would have followed a transformation model -- with the same staff and principal etc, but a more rigorous staff evaluation process and with increased learning time -- 30 minutes a day, which we would be paid an increase in our salary to teach.
I think if we don't submit the grant (irrespective of getting the grant) then we will either become a public school choice option (a pilot or charter -- which I am fine with. I'd love to write a pilot proposal!) or be reconstituted -- same principal (she is new this year), staff is all fired and have to reapply for jobs, which I also don't fear.
Aww.. [link] UCLA's Med Center's data was stolen. That would be Grace's identity! (and ita's?) Sigh.
Huh. I need to check my mail and see if that's me. But first I need to fall unconscious.
I am up early. Not to go to the Farmer's Market, but to try to get tickets (and good seats) for Prince.
Oooh!
I am up early (earlier than I wanted) because my cat is an asshole. Can he read the clock, but not the calendar? It is Saturday! And it was not that light out.
Yeah, I had to break up a fight in the bathroom at 6 am. OK, I was semi-awake, but jeez, cats.
My cats also woke me up early. Now Oz is isolated until he pees in the box. Stupid urine samples.
Okay, so I had floor tickets for Prince, but they were pretty far back, so I opted for lower bowl, closer to the stage. My friend was debating with her husband whether both should go because of money/babysitting. So I said I would buy 3 tickets if they were AMAZING, but two if they were just okay. I thought there were decent seats, so I only got two. But now I feel guilty.
I'd always rather be higher and closer, myself. I saw Prince years ago from a few levels up, but right on the side of the stage. It was amazing!
Timelies all!
Nova woke me up early(well early for a Saturday) demanding breakfast, but she always does that. On a more disturbing note, I'm finding dried blood on the sofa in the computer room, and a few other places. As both kitties looked fine and snarfed down their breakfasts, I'm hoping it was a minor cut(possibly resulting from a bout of the Feline Wrestling Federation) that has healed up.
