Why Would Teacher Satisfaction Be Falling?
It is hard to understand why teachers’ satisfaction has dropped to an all-time low during the Obama Administration. Yes, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan has doubled-down on the bubble-in madness of NCLB. Duncan has pushed the agenda of the “Billionaires Boys Club” which threatens to kill the principle of public education. The administration has dumped “innovation” after “innovation” risky gamble after risky gamble on teachers, and set us up as scapegoats when they fail.
But, hasn’t the President who we supported also said nice things about us? Even though he forgot about it, did President Obama not promise to start treating us with “RESPECT?”
Seriously, even the Obama administration, and perhaps even Bill Gates, must have some inkling of how their experiments have wrecked the morale of teachers. When they propose a new medical cure, surely they don’t think that it will make the lab rats happier.
A new Metropolitan Life survey shows that teachers’ job satisfaction has dropped 23% since 2008 (which was the year that teachers and our unions helped elect the President.) And, it is bound to get worse. As the Huffington Post’s Joy
Gutter Testing
Question: Define the purpose of guttering on a house.
Answer: Choose the response that represents your thinking.
a. to catch rain water coming off the roof
b. to catch and direct rain water deflected by a roof out away from a vulnerable foundation
c. to correct an imposition
d. to protect a preconception
We have a gutter on our house that is a bit askew in one place over the porch and near the front steps. Consequently the rain will come off the room slip by the gutter in that spot and pour straight down. This has clearly been the case over the years prior to our occupation as the front walk has begun to sink a bit and now pools water right in front of the porch. My "fix" has been to insert a stick underneath the roof lip to adjust the drip line to meet the guttering in the right place as the guttering itself will not adjust properly. This works, but the pooling persists, naturally, due to the current sloping state of the ground.
I moved this stick the other day as my son and I were headed out for school (a ten-minute walk), a minor adjustment made by a shrewd handyman.
