So I wrote my first evaluation (aka "comments" from CA teachers). I chose my easiest - which was my top overachiever kid. She's so eager and great.
I turned in my half-page narrative praise. I just met with my peer-editor and here's a sketch of what she said: "this is great, you have good examples, your paragraph flows well. Just... be careful of your wording. Remember that you're writing it to students and their parents."
(I look at the paper, and the following words are circled: sound, meticulous, astute, conscientious)
Me: So what are you saying? You want me to use small words?
Her, smiling: Yes.
Darn - I guess it's not the same at CA teachers... I have to continue to use small words. I miss intellectual stimulation. Don't get me wrong, I loved the teaching, but I miss the challenging, persepective-changing, long talks that people here (Teachers included) consider totally dorky.
