That tutoring isn't nice of me. It's required. NCLB. It doesn't accomplish diddly squat, but it's required, mornings and afternoons.

Kids who are failing your class HAVE to go, and they get the make up work, do it turn it in. It's a big make up work session. Which means they feel like they don't need to do it in class.

NCLB is STUPID.

So she had a lot of teacher aides. Most teachers don't. I'm wondering when she left the profession. Twenty years ago?
