Next Season on Survivor
Mayor Bloomberg (NYC), Kathy Black (NYC Schools' Chancellor), Governor Walker
(Wis) and Governor Christie (NJ) will be dropped in an elementary school
classroom for 1 school year. Each of them will be provided with a copy of
his/her school district's curriculum, and a class of 20-25 students.
Each class will have a minimum of five learning-disabled children, three with
A.D.H.D., one gifted child, and two who speak limited English. Three students
will be labeled with severe behavior problems.
Each of them must complete lesson plans at least 3 days in advance, with
annotations for curriculum objectives and modify, organize, or create their
materials accordingly. They will be required to teach students, handle
misconduct, implement technology, document attendance, write referrals, correct homework, make bulletin boards, compute grades, complete report cards, document benchmarks, communicate with parents, and arrange parent conferences. They must also stand in their doorway between class changes to monitor the hallways.
In addition, they will complete fire drills, tornado drills, and [Code Red]
drills for shooting attacks each month.
They must attend workshops, faculty meetings, and attend curriculum
development meetings. They must also tutor students who are behind and strive
to get their 2 non-English speaking children proficient enough to take the SOLS tests. If they are sick or having a bad day they must not let it show.
Each day they must incorporate reading, writing, math, science, and social
studies into the program. They must maintain discipline and provide an
educationally stimulating environment to motivate students at all times. If
all students do not wish to cooperate, work, or learn, the teacher will be held responsible.
These people will only have access to the public golf course on the weekends,
but with their new salary, they will not be able to afford it. There will be
no access to vendors who want to take them out to lunch, and lunch will be
limited to thirty minutes, which is not counted as part of their work day.
They will be permitted to use a student restroom, as long as another survival
candidate can supervise their class.
If the copier is operable, they may make copies of necessary materials before, or after, school. However, they cannot surpass their monthly limit of
copies. They must also continually advance their education, at their expense,
and on their own time.
The winner of this Season of Survivor will be allowed to return to their job.

Re: Next Season on Survivor
Only three behavior problems? They are getting off easy!
Is it horrible to say that Chris Christie will last a week before needing to go on medical leave? I don't know if his heart could take the strain of having, for example, my former student who was stoned daily and once peed in the back of my room, or the kid whose favorite insult was "Yo mama's got titties on top of her head!"
