This blog has been designed to give the teachers and employees of the Hillsborough County School District an outlet to vent, rant, and most importantly share information and suggestions about Superintendent Elia's plan to increase the number of teaching periods from 5 to 6 periods a day while reducing the planning periods from 2 to 1.

How to escape education's death valley.
http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_how_to_escape_education_s_death_valley.html
I have another 1.5 - 2 years to put in the system. Then I will be free. The school system is really not the game I want to play now. I do "get" Common Core. We must know the "core" which brings us back to "competency based learning" and a need to do something totally different to educate.

You sound like me.
I have lost confidence and respect for our current system and methods.
It is hard to maintain the level of "kicking and screaming" necessary to cut through the noise so I am more "underground" and subtle in my rebellion and beliefs. It helps me accept my paycheck in good conscience.
Thanks for your authentic posts and support Sisyphus.
