Next Season on Survivor

Have you heard about the next planned "Survivor" show?

Three businessmen and three businesswomen will be dropped into an elementary school classroom for 1 school year. The business people will be provided with a copy of their school district's curriculum and a class of 28 - 32 students.

Each class will have a minimum of five learning-disabled children, three with A.D.D., one gifted child, and two who speak limited English. Three students will be labeled with severe behavior problems.

All business people must complete lesson plans at least 3 days in advance with annotations for curriculum objectives and modify, organize, or create their materials accordingly. They will be required to teach 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 stand in the doorway between class changes to monitor the hallways. In addition, they will complete fire drills, tornado drills, and [Code Red] drills for shooting attacks each month.

They must attend workshops, faculty meetings, and attend curriculum development meetings They must also tutor students who are behind and strive to get the 2 non-English speaking children proficient enough to take all of the state tests.

If the business person is sick or having a bad day, he/she must not let it show. Each day they must incorporate reading, writing math, science, and social studies into the program and must maintain discipline and provide an educationally stimulating environment to motivate students at all times.

If all students do not wish to cooperate, work, or learn, the teacher will be held responsible. The business people will only have access to the public golf course on the weekends, but with their new salary, they may not be able to afford it.

There will be no access to vendors who want to take them out to lunch, and lunch will be limited to thirty minutes, which is not counted as part of their workday. The business people will be permitted to use a student restroom, as long as another survival candidate can supervise their class.

If the copier is operable, they may make copies of necessary materials before or after school. However, they cannot surpass their monthly limit of copies. The business people must continually advance their education, at their expense, and on their own time.

The winner of this season of "Survivor" will be allowed to return to his/her job.

The story of my life...god I hate teaching.

They did it in England. Apparently, some high elected official was dropped into a secondary school classroom for a week. She failed miserably. She was too "soft" on the kids, not following the school's discipline policy, and didn't realize that she actually had to show up to class on time, expecting people to take up the slack for her.

She didn't end up a mess, like some folks would have, but the teachers who were there really slated her.

Welcome to Head Start!!! That's what it was like for me most of the time.

The only thing I saw missing was that lesson plans must include the state/national standard that is being covered each day and the lesson plans must be posted online for students and parents to access. In addition, the businessperson is expected to go back at the end of the week/unit and write a reflection of what went right and what went wrong and what they will do differently next time. Never mind that new textbooks will be adopted next year and all of those carefully crafted lesson plans will no longer fit with the book. In season two, the business person will be forced to choose between completely re-writing the lesson plans or going out of order in the new book.
