To my disenchanted friend who chose not to continue their education because "the district gives you a whopping $2.00 a check raise." It's good to see what your motivations are. Quit now, because you're making those of us who care look bad.

It's about being a lifelong learner and improving my practice for the benefit of my students. One can do that without attending a university. The best teachers I know are the ones who take the initiative to improve their craft without being motivated by dollar signs. And by the way thanks to the Professional Development Center (Sheryl White, Stacey Somppi and their "cronies") for providing me the opportunities to continue to learn.

I cannot believe someone would bash ms. haines! Why, after all, she's has lchs lookin so clean and organized...no more drugs and gangs...dropout rate is lower...kids look sharp on campus...test scores are high...NOT, again!

Onate has a new principal...hope the sports guy likes music programs. Will cruces be next to get a new principal? Hope so!

All this talk about LCHS band; my kid goes to MHS and can't stand the big man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The kids sacrifice everything for his program, and still get treated like dirt!

Isn't it about time for the aes programs and their overpaid facilitators to go?
--
The university should pay us to work on our PhD's. At least the College of Education would have a chance to become credible!

Evaluation of principals... did the school district outlaw that process? Lots of criticism of principals, on this blog site, but nothing seems to be happening. If the evaluation process is still in effect, do you teachers not dare to reveal your feelings there. Maybe it wouldn't make a difference, anyway, as those 'defective' principals may be quite shrewd. Remember, someone posted a blog a couple of months ago, and described how principals (through training or experience) have figured out how to build a power base... by catering to the many insecure, less-experienced teachers. In this district, the confident, experienced, excellent teachers are the enemy. You're being out-voted. Blogger Comment: Any negative comments have to be signed. That stops many employees from expressing their true feelings.

Our counselors are ineffective; anyway the district would consider a rotation of schools for these people?

I do care. That's why I take classes that have to do with my subject. I'm just not going to waste money to get a 'piled higher and deeper' degree. It's a joke. And don't tell me money isn't an issue. If you say that you're lying. If it's not an issue, then give up you FTE and work for free. When we get a 3% raise and insurance increases by 15%, it doesn't make sense.

Time for the AES programs and 'overpaid' facilitators to go? Do you have any idea the benefit these kids get from this program? Obviously not.

My middle school child has greatly benefited from this program. Heaven forbid we do something for the strong students!

It must stink to have kids smarter than the some of the teaching staff. Are the kiddies making you look bad?

It doesn't matter if you continue your education through college, conferences and workshops, or just reading up on innovations and new theories and practices. But doing none of these things is unexcusable.

Okay, so Mr. Rounds tells us that we have too many employees and we are going to need to decrease our % of employees. That is fine, but don't good leaders lead by example. Why then did he hire his best buddy, Dr. Sanchez? How much is our "broke" district paying him? Why did we need to hire someone to come and work here just until August? All I have ever seen Dr. Sanchez do is walk around and talk to people. He just floats around the building and interrupts people while they are trying to work. I know because I work at central office. Did Dr. Sanchez per chance need to have a few more months for his retirement for NM? Mr. Rounds, take it from me. The last person who came here and tried to line the pockets of their best friends is long gone!!! I would like to know more about this Dr. Sanchez. Why does a district that is in the financial ruin they claim we are in need to hire him to walk around for a few months?

As far as administrator evaluations go. You have a choice of signing them or putting a SS #. By the way, they do not check the SS #'s either.
