Imagine having to email each lesson plan to the principal as well as to Vernachele at the Duval County School Board. This really Piss*d off the math teachers because they thought only the Superintendent and his schools' administrators were math Dictators. Now a math- coach-turned-district-coach began flexing her knuckles because she 's apparently been brain washed by Vitti. She was not smart enough to know that she shouldn't offend teachers; at $39,000 a year salary I wouldn't try intimidating teachers.

Sadly everything she says here is true. <br /><br />Equally as sad Vitti says that he will loosen up the curriculum only for top rated schools next year. Gregory Drive & similar schools in that economically depressed area are not in that bracket so they will be forced to continue with the "dog & pony" show til all the good teachers are gone. When will Vitti learn that it's the lower performing schools that need the most leeway--not the least.Bibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14543728085900576908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107550755163115303.post-87906022053734489582016-01-16T08:28:25.246-07:002016-01-16T08:28:25.246-07:00Unfortunately, it is the state of our educational ... Unfortunately, it is the state of our educational system.I have changed grade levels hoping the micromanaging isn't as bad. I briefly taught at a "reputable" charter school thinking that will surely be better than the district. They have sucked the joy from teaching and have added secretary to our job description. Most of us have dedicated our lives to this profession and don't know of another professional option.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107550755163115303.post-71871592381441192672016-01-16T08:09:29.678-07:002016-01-16T08:09:29.678-07:00Surely the school board members know of the teache...Surely the school board members know of the teachers' dissatisfaction. Why are they not addressing this at school board meetings with the superintendent?<br /><br />I know their job is to set policy for the school district, but they need to address the elephant in the room.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
