inside the black box

I asked the union lackey about ATRs [Absent Teacher Reserve]. He said, they just got a great deal from the DOE. Smart principals will hire them in a minute. I reminded him of the fact that principals do not like experienced teachers, that they don't like teachers that think and have minds of their owns. Years ago, principals hid vacancies whenever they could. No one wanted a veteran teacher who would not jump when told to. He said smart principals did not think like that. I said the smart ones were few and far between. He just kept talking about the one smart principal he used to work for.

Speaking of inside the black box, When Galaxies Collide is back!

Thanks -- we could have used the site last month when we were stumped by many a calculus problem. Thanks, we'll put it on the short list of homework help sites.

Oops, meant to post the comment on the "mathways" tip. It does't make any sense here.
