My house looks like a bomb
went off in it --- a big, fat, paper-based bomb. I am putting together my educator evaluation
portfolio, and there are colored folders and papers every damn where.
Look, folks, how can
compiling more useless paperwork make me a better teacher? Right now all it’s doing is making me a
wicked pissed off teacher. Seriously. If there are already multiple copies of all
of my observation reports hanging around the school filing cabinets, why on
earth do I need to create a binder with more copies of these reports?
But, I am, for the most
part anyway, a rule follower. The state
says make a frigging portfolio, so I’ll make a frigging portfolio. Just know that it’s going to be an angry
portfolio, full of offensive colors and curt explanations and maybe even repetitive
documents.
In the meantime, someone
send Guy Montag. I’ve got a lot of paper
here, and I suspect there’s only one option out of this mess.
