OK. New state superintendent. An unwieldy math program that is not serving the students well. So let's make changes.
For the love of Pete, right this second I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HECK WE WILL BE DOING!
Why didn't I pick English? Or Science?
The end of a hectic week

You didn't pick English because you would spend an enormous and frustrating amount of time grading essays that make you want to cry and pull your hair out while you ask yourself, "DID THEY LEARN ANYTHING!". I sincerely love my job. I teach English. BUT! When I assign essays and do the math, it's daunting how much time grading takes.
Monday I collect a set of essays from 4 periods. That SHOULD be apx. 100 essays. If I spend, on average, 5 minutes per essay we're talking at least ten hours to complete grading ONE assignment. Even worse, let's say I give warm ups and spend all of 2 minutes checking them off and entering in grade book; that is apx 200 minutes= nearly 4 hours to grade and enter work that really means very little.
Anyway...that's why you don't teach English--not to mention the vague, non-linear, and broad standards that are constantly perplexing!
