About Me: A high school Biology teacher's coping with rosacea while living in the interesting and sometimes insane world of public education.

The eSIS Saga May Continue
I got an email today from a fellow teacher in the teacher's union. She said that the county administration planned on getting new laptops for all of the teachers in January and then requiring them to use eSIS Gradebook. While getting a new computer would be nice, it doesn't address the flaws in the eSIS program. These guys are simply pouring more money down an educational black hole in order to justify this awful program. On a brighter note, I've been thanked by a number of teachers for exposing the eSIS system for the horrible mistake it is. A number of them said they would never use it for the same reasons I gave in my posts. If push comes to shove and they continue this travesty I will probably file a complaint through the union and fight them.
The rosacea flushing is doing ok. Today was very hot and I got a little pink but nothing too serious. I am going to exercise a little and then take a long bath to relax.
