I had a little laugh when I read the list during school today. It was nothing like the laugh I had reading the standards for a sixth grade history class I once was preparing to teach that began "The student will understand history from the beginning of time to the Renaissance." Who wrote that? The state education brainiacs, of course. Nevertheless, I did save this list to look at and share as I knew the teachers in our blog circle might enjoy it. Which ones would you say your teaching style hits?
Several other bloggable moments happened today, but there are so many papers to grade, I must do a few before my energy is totally gone.

I think I only hit the ones in red as well. I thought "realistic future plans" was especially humorous. I mean, dreams don't even begin in your county. They begin in ours, until tomorrow.
