Stress, planning, effectiveness - bah!

* it is virtually impossible to plan tests for multiple periods because there is never more than a 1 day notice of the other stuff that interrupts your class. Like, pulling half out for some sort of testing, fire drill, tornado drill, whatever. Why can't they let us know so we can, what, plan?

* We won't even talk about planning periods that we don't get to take.

* They tell us they are going to come in and look at A then critiques us on B - huh?

* The legislature is still piddling around about whether we are going to have another 3 days of furlough in the next six months - and whether our contracts will come out April 15 or May 15.
