JLO on Nude Love Scene w/ Wesley Snipes - “I Felt Violated"

I will, however, make a post about this.

As a new Special Ed. teacher, about 18 yrs. ago, I took a job in a low socio-economic area public school. Most of the kids were black, always hungry, no family involvement, etc, etc... The admin tried to have me sign what amounted to illegal IEP's...kids with goals of learning how to count money and other basic things like math facts. I was instructed to teach them Saxon Math, which was wayyy above their heads, learning right angles, etc. The Literacy Co-ordinator, as she lovingly looked at her reflection in the glass of her office door, told me that 'we don't teach kids phonics' at the 4th and 5th grade level, 'we teach vocabulary' ...which is the biggest bunch of bullshit I've ever heard come out of another teacher's mouth. Main point being, if they cant read the FUCKING word, what the hell good is that doing?

At any rate, I let them know they could shove all that right up their ass, giving notice of course, and went to work at my son's old pre-school. Making ends meet as a single parent working at a pre-school was not easy. In the meantime, I wrote a letter to the school where I work now, explaining that I wanted to work at a school with integrity for kids and one that did not 'teach to the test'. Four months later, I was teaching there.

That's all I have to say about that.
