man all i ever hear from you teachers is whinge whinge i have to lesson plan. whinge, my life is too busy because i have lessons to plan. whinge.

well since you're all planning lessons, why can't one big set of lessons be planned and distributed amongst all you whingers.

there's worse things in life than lesson plans. you don't see me whinging that i have to draft affidavits. my life is too busy, i have to draft an affidavit!

...okay maybe i'm slightly bitter. carry on then.

still love you,
tash

in defense of the lesson plan, i must say it's an organic process that really can be decided by no one but the teacher in relation to how students are (or aren't) progressing, assessing their various learning styles and levels of understanding, and maintaining balance and equity in the classroom.

we're talking about giving the tools to the next generation of students to carry on the world of tomorrow (or something to that effect).

(if you don't know me, that was said in the most tongue-in-cheek voice possible).

cheers!

how many affidavits do you have to draft per day? i love you tash!

and actually, i'm in favour of a national curriculum but if you read the paper you'll see how contravertial that is...

cheers dingle, thanks for the support! and in defense of national curriculum, it would still be organic and each teacher would adapt the program to suit their class skill level and environment...
