Rasor (an assistant Principal) the duty to transport her to Ciber-Blue High School. Mr. Rasor’s busy schedule caused their late departure. Some of Miss Forest’s co-workers noted the improbability of reaching Ciber-Blue High School on schedule – and they were right. Mr. Rasor and Miss Forest departed from Dromedary High School a few minutes after class began. At departure time, Miss Forest’s class was unsupervised, further proof of Mr. Murphy’s mis-planning and negligence.
Arrival on the campus of Ciber-Blue High School was thirty-four (34) minutes late. Therefore, a significant portion of the lesson – the beginning – was missed. Since Mr. Murphy’s “concern” was to teach Miss Forest how to teach, and he used three years to teach her, why didn’t he arrange to have her arrive at Ciber-Blue High School on time? The time he so blatantly sat. Taxpayers are paying for this slack. And why was Mr. Rasor permitted to leave Dromedary High School so late?
Mr. Rasor was allowed to finish something he was doing. According to Mr. Murphy, nothing was as important as Miss Forest’s “remedial lesson” instruction. They (the administrators were responsible” for Miss Forest’s “remedial plan”) all voiced that “concern” or she would not be given a contract for the next term. Why did Mr. Murphy assign the observation class so early, requiring transportation during the busiest time of the day? Everything about this assignment is abnormal and strange. Their trademark in dealing with Miss Forest was non -professional. First, the early class assignment put an unnecessary strain on the out-of-area teacher. Next, Mr. Murphy had no respect for punctuality. Lastly, he (Mr. Murphy) left no teacher in the classroom with Miss Forest’s students. (Note: the fact that Miss Forest was an outstanding disciplinarian is proven with Mr. Murphy leaving her students unsupervised). Indirectly, he trusted, had confidence in her classroom performance. If her students were “out-of-control” Mr. Murphy would have had a teacher in the classroom of Miss Foster. But he did not because it was not necessary! None of the teachers in surrounding classrooms made any complaints against Miss Forest’s students. Remarkable!
The History class at Ciber-Blue High School was taught by Ms. Pearl James instead of Mrs. Short, who was out on sick leave. Were Mr. Murphy and evaluators aware of this change? If they were, then why wasn’t Miss Forest informed? She expected Mrs. Short. Had either of the evaluators observed Mrs. Short or Ms. James’ teaching? Why didn’t Mr. Murphy or one of the evaluators accompany Miss Forest to Ciber-Blue High School to observe Mrs. Short to make sure her teaching met their standard? (Note: They knew Miss Forest’s classroom work ranked above the ordinary.) Miss Forest was required to write a summary of the observation. The purpose of the summary was never explained.
Ms. James’ class was small, seventeen (17) advanced (AP), and well-disciplined students. The lesson: chapters twenty-nine (29) and thirty (30), method: Discussion. The themes blended with current events. Two mini films were viewed and discussed. Ms. James taught students to be specific. “Don’t assume listeners know what you are talking about;” she said. Students were given an exercise sheet for homework.
Ms. James is one of the best! The class was relaxed, free-spirited and friendly. But according to Mr. Murphy, Ms. Green, Mrs. Lewis, and Mr. Reece, Ms. James’ teaching would have rated unsatisfactory for lack of the following which they required of Miss Forest:
No objective was written on chalkboard.
Teacher did most of the talking.
Only a few students talked.
Students’ work not visible.
