In our area of the good ole USofA we start the school year in the middle of August. By the first week of September I was noticing that the bulletin boards outside of our government schools were announcing the teacher who has been selected Teacher of the Year for the particular school. Does this make sense?
I was still confused about these bulletin board announcements when, in late September, I read in my paper that the School District was in the process of selecting the Teachers of the Year to be finalists for Teacher of the Year for the whole School District. The awards banquet is slated for November 4th.
Wow, these people work fast! After less than three months of a nine month school year they already know who the best of the best is.
Most reports show American Children falling behind the children from the rest of the world with regard to education. Imagine how fast and far they would be falling behind if our teachers were not so fast.
Would I kid u?
