In case you haven't figured this out already. I am a teacher.

to Bill.

Bill wouldn't last more than a day in a classroom.

Timmy!

We are cheeping out from Tallahassee to Miami. Short cuts over short cuts.

It's like Detroit in the 1970s.

He's a fall guy for the administration.

The real problem is that whoever replaces this guy will be just as bad, if not worse.

After the trouble this new teacher has found himself in, I was surprised to see dictionaries listed as available for some students that are testing tomorrow, 3-18-02. LEP, limited english proficiency, students are the only ones who may use the dual language dictionaries. All I can say is "When in doubt - don't". Please ask if something doesn't mesh with general directions.

Bill

This is the kind of thing I'm talking about people. The people in this profession are scary. Tell me you don't think that guy is an absolute loon after reading that post. I'd be willing to guess at least 30% of the public education workforce is just as crazy.
