I asked the same question relating to using the computers in my home school. Thinking about it further, we could even grade the exams from home. Imagine how much pollution could be saved if thousands of teachers did their work from home. And the DOE could still keep track of the work done because the supervisors can monitor the work teachers are doing as we grade the scaffolding and essays.<br /><br />The folks at Van Buren have been very hospitable; the folks joining us from other schools are great! I hope your stay at Cardozo is pleasant. Lots of fine folks there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-73898211046938416972013-06-15T17:33:09.890-04:002013-06-15T17:33:09.890-04:00I've been teaching it wrong too.

Nonetheless, James makes great points. It's remarkable that James, a lowly teacher, can come up with a common-sense solution that eluded all the highly-paid geniuses at Tweed.

There are 22 sites in the city with "specially trained" types (overseers) to make sure the allegations of cheating are kept to a minimum. (the exams are scanned by non-union workers in Connecticut). Given the disagreements we had in "norming" the US History thematic we might find that the next regents is marked in fewer schools.
