Day 363, "TWO"

Allergies. What was the point? When I get to Heaven, I am putting that on my "Can't wait to ask God" list of questions. I mean really. Isn't that sort of a sucker punch? Last night I swear I thought I had asthma. I was literally choking on my own voice box. Eventually, I had to get up and sleep in my chair so I would quit waking up Ron with my coughing and gagging. Am I sick? Not at all...I'm just suffocating. No worries.

Today we went to visit high school sites with our new program specialist, Breck. She is awesome. Yes, I'm old enough to be her mother; I tried not to let that little detail get under my skin :) But she is a rock star!! I can learn a ton from her this year.

My attitude is improving slightly, but I am getting the feeling that the teachers who really need the most support think they are experts in their field. That makes for quite the challenge. Here's a question to chew on.... If your program is so amazing, then why are your test scores dropping every year? Shouldn't that be a red flag that there needs to be some modifications?

I'm just saying.
