Teachers: Please remove the disruptive student so others can learn.
Admin: Everyone needs seat time, so we sent him back after a restorative conversation.
Teachers: Johnny has only been here 5 days this semester. He’s going to fail with a 20.
Admin: Seat time doesn’t matter. Just give him a 70. We don’t want him to drop out.
Teachers: We have to stop passing students along. I have students on wildly different levels.
Admin: It’s okay, you can differentiate.
Teachers: It’s impossible to differentiate for 30 kids across 10 levels. Can you come show me how?
Admin: (After a 10-minute walk-through) Email: Try discovery-based learning and really focus on student discourse. Also your objective was not written on the board.
Admin: We have a lot of open positions on campus. Please be prepared to cover classes during your conference period if we can’t find long term subs. Also, make sure your lesson plans are uploaded, 504/Sped accommodations are documented, parent contact logs are updated, and grades are posted in a timely manner.
Schools: We don’t know why there is a teacher shortage.
Congrats to both @brandonsperanza, the winner of the 9th/10th grade TCP Hitting Competition and @n_rizzo22, the runner-up, in winning a wood bat and batting gloves provided by sponsor @rochesterbats
Great rounds today with @TripleCrownBSBL. Multiple rounds at the college setting batting over .500 and LD% over 50. Reached a new max distance at 276 and balanced EV in high 70s/low 80s
