the truth

honestly, i have been having trouble keeping this blog up to date. when i first decided to start this blog, i thought it would be an interesting place for me to be able to quickly jot down any ideas and thoughts i had from teaching in the dc public schools. sadly, i have been more overwhelmed than i ever envisioned. moving here was not a complete mistake. i am happy to be surrounded by family and old friends, the ocean, and all of the amenities on the east coast.

however, working for a system such as DCPS is a never ending, disaster.

i cannot imagine that they will ever get any better and i feel for some of the people that send their kids here.

i have never seen such horrendous things in a school allowed to go on.

at the school i work at, there is not any enforcement of discipline, no cleaning practices, no accountability for students and even some teachers.
i have also never worked with a more unprofessional group of educators in my life.

too much inaction breeds illiteracy and non-accountability.
so sad.
