Have you heard about the next planned Survivor show?


Three businessmen and three businesswomen will be dropped in an
elementary school classroom for 6 weeks.
Each business person will be provided with a copy of their school
district's curriculum, and a class of 28 students.
Each class will have five learning-disabled children, three with
 A.D.D., one gifted child, and two who speak limited English. Three will be
labeled as "severe behavior  problems."
Each business person must complete lesson plans at least 3 days in
advance with annotations for curriculum objectives and modify, organize, or
create 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 supervise recess and monitor the hallways. In addition,
 they will complete drills for fire, tornadoes, or shooting attacks.
They must attend workshops, (100 hours), faculty meetings, union meetings,
and curriculum
development meetings. They must also tutor those students who are behind and
strive to get their 2  non-English speaking children proficient enough to
take the Terra Nova and EPA 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 at all times.
The business people will only have access to the golf course on the
weekends, but on their new salary they will not be able to afford it anyway.
There will be no access to vendors who want to take them out to lunch, and
lunch will be limited to 30 minutes.
On days when they do not have recess duty, the business people will be
permitted to use the staff restroom as long as another survival candidate is
supervising their class. They will be provided with two 40-minute planning
periods per week while their students are at specials.
If the copier is operable, they may make copies of necessary materials at
this time.
The business people must continually advance their education on their own
time and pay for this advanced training themselves. This can be accomplished
by moonlighting  at a second job or marrying someone with money. The winner
will be allowed to return to his or her job.

Pass this to your friends who think teaching is easy and to the ones  that
think it is hard.

They will both benefit.
