and WTF is wrong with you people?? it makes abso-freakin'-lutely NO sense that you want me and the other 7th grade history teacher to do EXACTLY the SAME thing, on the SAME day in the SAME way!!! WHY ARE YOU STIFLING MY PERSONALITY!???

i didn't want to do the business world anymore because i hated micro-management and the unneccessary chain of accountability and because i desired the sense of autonomy in the classroom. but, thanks to my freakin' administration, that's all out the window.

and THIS is why today, i hate people!

That isht was going down here in CMS when I arrived. It was starting to happen in Columbus.

You cannnnnnnnnnOT teach children that way. We had a district wide pacing guide that dictated to all Charlotte Mecklenburg teachers what concepts should be taught on each day. Every day from start to dayum finish. I felt like someone had cut off my arms and legs and just wanted me to be a damn robot.

Y'all keep marching.
