plants and animals

we have a teacher who only teaches science at our school to every grade as a special. some teachers look at this as an opportunity to get out of teaching science.

she has been at many of our fifth grade planning meetings on wednesdays and has always offered me wonderful advice afterwards. we both seem to be on the same page with regards to our passion for the teaching profession, and our dissatisfaction for DCPS.

she informed me yesterday that i have really high expectations which is great. however, she was saying that she does too, and that her first year in the district, she was constantly frustrated with people who were not doing their jobs, and nothing was getting done. she was basically telling me to realize, even with my expectations, that not much will be done.

i appreciate her advice more than anything else i have gotten from this building thus far.
