Az I Teach It....

- Who says teachers are unappreciated?  Okay - most teachers do, but Dunkin Donuts wants to show all teachers and school staff that they do matter - if only a little!  Every Tuesday, during the month of February, just show your school ID badge, at any of the 29 valley Dunkin Donuts, and receive a FREE medium, hot or iced coffee.  What - no donut?  Well you're not appreciated THAT much!

- Arizona may soon replace the mandatory, and under-served AIMS tests with some form of nationally-normed standardized test - you know - like n the olden days of the 1970s - 1980s, when school administrators were too embarrassed to show those same tests' results, due to a lack of sufficient curriculum and student expectations.  And so, the circle/cycle continues!

- The most recent 'Quality Counts' report places Arizona 46th, nationally, in the 'Teaching Profession,' due to a lack of professional growth requirements;  43rd in 'School Finance,' due to consistently low per pupil spending;  and 44th in 'K-12 Achievement,' based upon consistent lack of achievement in nationally-normed math and reading tests.

- "We think too small.  Like the frog at the bottom of the well.  He thinks the sky is only as big as the top of the well.  If he surfaced, he would have an entirely different view" - Mao Tse-Tung
