New Survivor Show Planned [By Teachers]
Have you heard about the next planned "Survivor" show?
Three businessmen and three businesswomen will be
dropped in an elementary 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 5 learning-disabled children, 3 with
ADD, 1 gifted child, and 2 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 the 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 detention and monitor
the hallways and restrooms. In addition they will complete
drills for fires, tornadoes, or shooting attacks and assist with
fundraisers. They must attend workshops, weekly faculty
meetings, school improvement sessions; 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 SOL and SAT-9 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 after all teaching and
preparation tasks are completed, 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 the lunch hour 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
during the 15 minutes that another survival candidate is
supervising their students. They will also be provided
with two 40-minute planning periods per week while
their students are having music or art class in the
classroom and one 40-minute planning period while
their students are having physical education in the gym.
If the copier is operable, they may make copies of
necessary materials at that time.
The business people must continually advance their
education on their own time, preferably during the
summer months, and pay for this advanced training
themselves. This can be accomplished either by
moonlighting at a second job or marrying someone
with a lot of money.
The winning survivor will be allowed to return to his
or her corporate job.
