[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The answer is complicated.

I actually switched jobs between the two years. So, the year that the old program was implemented, I was the teacher. I then applied for and got the job as curriculum specialist, so I oversaw the analysis and implementation of the changes the following year. Curriculum specialist was a part time role, so I job shared the classroom job the following year, so I got to teach as well as being the curriculum person.

I've long since moved on to other roles, and have gone back in the classroom and left again. [/quote]

Well, I suspect your new role has something to do with Common Core or the Dept. of Education.[/quote]

Well, my new role is in a school in a state that implements Common Core Standards and deals with the Department of Education.  So, I guess you are correct.

If you're guessing that I work for either of those entities then you are incorrect.[/quote]

Do you support the arrest of a man who goes over a two-minute time limit? Yes or no.[/quote]

It depends.  Did it happen like this?

[quote]
And then he went to the meeting, where during the two-minute comment period he attempted to have that much-anticipated discussion, asking board chair Sue Allen for documentation of the error and asking her to read the notice that the school sent Monday, which he considered inadequate because it only referred to “high school relationships, some of them unhealthy.” He then demanded that someone read the passage on page 313 aloud, [b]at which point his two minutes were over[/b].

Another parent, Sara Carrignan, also complained that she was “utterly appalled” by the book and the oversight, and that her son “had this book in his hands for a week.” She also considered the notice “garbage.”

When a third parent [b]was speaking in favor of the book[/b] and saying that he didn’t want other parents trying to ban it, Baer interrupted, calling the man’s position “absurd”; [b]Allen asked him to stop talking[/b]. He replied, “That’s fine…It’s absurd. [b]Why don’t you have me arrested? Why don’t we do that as a civics lesson, nice First Amendment Lesson.”[/b]

We were not aware that the First Amendment guarantees the right to interrupt people during a meeting, as long as you’re really sure you need to, but we learn all sorts of things from the internet.

Allen asked Baer, [b]“Sir, would you please be respectful of the other people?[/b]” and he shot back, “Like you’re respectful of my daughter, right? And my children?”
And then the officer came and took him away, trampling freedom forever.[/quote]

Three strikes you're out!  Especially when you taunt the ump.
