Pacing

Do the pacing on your pacing guides.  Huh?  Another forced mandate.  Another vague directive.  "By the end of the month" doesn't really sound like a reward or paycheck reminder any longer.  The words "pacing" and "guide" hold no meaning any longer.  There must be a technically correct linguistic term for this.  I don't know what it is.  Bogus comes to mind.  So does nimrod.  Pacing on the pacing guides--mixed up semantics and jumbled jargon mish mashing into and obliterating meaning.  What is expected, exactly, except for a mental breakdown in words?  I have no jargon for this.  I have no words.  I only know that this is exhaustive and I no longer see where the hoop is to jump through.  I only see the through part.  I only jump.  The jumping part.  Wait, the pacing part.  Pacing.  Jumping is guiding my pacing.

Ego-driven

Once you are in the Zone, then you can decide if the students (or yourself?) are product (ego) driven or process (love of learning) driven.  I kid you not.  Well, these are kids, after all.  Turn them around to love learning.  The test goes out the window, then, I suppose.  Who will say this?  Any takers? 

Is this yoga now or am I still being observed by the team who reports to the prinicpal?  Well, not officially.  I guess it seems a lot like a yoga sutra without the pose--physical pose.  Posturing?  Definitely.
