The Library is Not a Fruit: A Whole New Ball Game

The Library is Not a Fruit. One all-girls independent high school li-berry, so much to say. Thursday, October 6, 2011. A Whole New Ball Game. In order to get a handle on this school, this library, and these girls, I put together a survey and asked 340 students to provide answers to questions about their reading habits, library habits, research habits, etc. The results were very enlightening. Stunning, really. Shocking, in fact. This is what I found:. 34% spend ZERO time each week reading for pleasure.

The Library is Not a Fruit. One all-girls independent high school li-berry, so much to say. Tuesday, November 1, 2011. I have already managed to give myself a bad reputation. It took very little, really. All I had to do was grade a few papers and, BAM. It's not quite that bad really. There are lots of girls here who like me quite a bit. I think. Here's what went down:. When I graded them, about 80% failed the assignment. Totally fell on their faces failed. Why? Perhaps they didn't ever (not one time!

The Library is Not a Fruit. One all-girls independent high school li-berry, so much to say. Monday, September 19, 2011. It's been a while, hasn't it? After my last post, I needed a good, long break from thinking too much about LAUSD. I went to New York with my darling husband. I finished the school year the best I could (which perhaps wasn't the best I. True, I still didn't know what my job would be. True, when summer started my future was one big mystery. Work of LAUSD either. I know! Worked for LAUSD f...

The Library is Not a Fruit. One all-girls independent high school li-berry, so much to say. Saturday, May 21, 2011. In a recent blog post, I wrote that my employer had become my enemy. That was re-posted on The Washington Post's educational blog, The Answer Sheet, and I suppose my employer really took it to heart. At my RIF hearing yesterday, the LAUSD lawyers were armed and ready to take me down. After an hour of testimony and an hour lunch break, I returned to the stand feeling pretty good. I wrote abo...

The Library is Not a Fruit. One all-girls independent high school li-berry, so much to say. Tuesday, January 4, 2011. I am the Decider.

Not to mention the fact that forward movement is totally out of the question on this campus right now anyway.

The Library is Not a Fruit. One all-girls independent high school li-berry, so much to say. Thursday, April 21, 2011. There is really only one question to ask:. What sensible Hispanic or African-American middle school student in South Central, Los Angeles. Want to read this book? Links to this post. Tuesday, April 12, 2011. A one-hour lunch break! I mean, I was under the impression for the last ten years that there aren't that many people out there who really want to do what I want to do. Am I wrong?
