RANT 06284: Right now, my best friend is beating himself up to make sure that one of our servers is back online and ready for tomorrow. Now you know us, we love a challenge and we take the responsibility of keeping the intregity of our network as close to 100%(OK..82.5%) as possible. Sometimes though, there has to be a cutoff point. Our district purchased yet another in a long line of testing programs this year. This one, like the other, provides us with testing materials to prepare the students for the real thing. It not only allows us to see where the strengths and weaknesses of the students lie, but also ties each question directly to the framework/curruculum that needs to be addressed. We have tested many a child already this year. I'm sure that just as my good friend slaps himself around, stays up late and makes himself sick over this server problem, there are teachers doing the same thing for the education of our youth. It warms my soul to know that the majority of teachers stay up all hours of the night to make sure that they examine the test results and are prepared to offer help to little Johnny the next day. Yeah, I'm a dreamer...
Sex addicted Senators, murdering pedophiles, Korea with nukes, tainted spinach, low test scores, new iPods, steroid juiced athletes, OPEC pumping more oil, OPEC cutting back on oil production, crazy South American dictators, melting icebergs, out of control hand clapping!! When is it all going to end? I don't know if I can take much more of the good life. Oh yeah, gotta pay my property taxes...I guess I should shut up and make sure that everyone gets food and shelter on my dime. Hey, somebody has to flip the patties.
I shouldn't do this for a least another 3 weeks...
