Jenn D, you and my ex-wife would have got along well. She is an elementry teacher. Her specialties were math and reading and writting. She loved complicated math and math logics. When she taught 5th grade, the kids hated her math problems.

I was an O.T.R. Truck Driver hauled mostly Hazmat. Got laid off and then released.

:smile0003:

Now I"m looking for a local driving position, wife doesn't want me back OTR, I don't blame here but I DO MISS it. I grew up as a Military brat (Marines) and my step dad's were OTR drivers so being a Ramblin' Man is in my blood, it's hard to stay in one place so long.

:smile0010:

Now I build custom cars/trucks on the side.

Work from home now, been with Sony for 21 years as of 1-16-10. Used to have a 66 mile R/T drive, but they closed the building here that had been open for 30 years. Moved most of the jobs to San Diego, but a handful of us are working from home. I miss the people, but not the drive... Especially with the Snow we had.



Wife works with Hospice. Takes a special person to do that work, I know I couldnt do it.

[Dan Long]

Jenn, I sure hope you don't have anything to do with the Sunshine Math worksheets that my 3rd grade daughter gets.....:smile0003: Those things are terrible, the questions are often so vague with many different ways to answer them, and they get no book or anything to support them.

 

[Jenn D]

Eddie - I'm working on a 5th grade book now that your ex would just LOVE... Ahhhh, I can hear the kid's groans now. (btw...I taught high school previously so I know what teachers go through with these books. I try to make it as enjoyable for them as possible.)



Dan - Thankfully, no, I am not part of that, but I will say that the new FL Math standards are actually quite well-written. And as they begin to be immersed in the classroom and the old standards are dumped, they will be a good thing if taught correctly. We recently finished a new FL Math text geared towards the teaching of the new FL core standards and it is selling incredibly well in all FL districts. I can only hope your daughter is able to use our new program next year. It is somewhat different, but very well done.
