ETS, you are not my enemy after all

I know I have only been gone for four days, but I have so much to say!  What's worse is that I am enjoying my new apartment and my time with Mr. Peaches and Mr. Holden that I have no interest in writing anything at all.

First and foremost, I PASSED the Spanish Praxis.  I didn't do well, per say- my score certainly wasn't stellar, but I did PASS and that is the only important thing.

However, my score on the second Praxis test- the Principles of Teaching and Learning- was stellar.  It was so stellar that I received professional recognition for my score (ETS RoE), which might help me in the job hunt.  (I doubt I need to point out, however, that my ability to take a test well has little to do with my ability to be a successful teacher, and I believe there are all kinds of things wrong with standardized tests.)


So, I finished all of my coursework (thanks to my waived class), passed the two mandatory tests that I need to take, and tomorrow I will apply for my teaching license.  And I will get it.  There are no roadblocks.  My state believes that I am mature and competent enough to care for students, from K-12.

PULL YOUR KIDS OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS NOW, DEAR READER!


Just kidding.  Sort of.
