Day One of my Spring Break.
I’ve been looking all over for a Budweiser Bikini brief bathing suit, but to no avail. I’ve got my “U.S.A. No. 1” beer bong out of my foot locker. I’m getting ready to head down to Ft. Lauderdale, me and my pals are working on are base tan here in So Cal, so we don’t embarrass ourselves down at the MTV block party. We are getting all ready to go.
But neither I nor any of my friends are going to do this. We like to stay drunk close to home.
I’m getting ready to look for work in Los Angeles, which means cutting my hair to its proper 1950 trim. Shining shoes, and remembering words and names to drop-Christensen not Schafer, differentiation, standards, etc.
All of my visits will be cold calls, and I’m sure all my years of bullshitting have lead up to these moments when I look a principal dead in the eye and speak eloquently about how I push each students Zone of Proximal Development. ZPD-was that really the simplest term for this. I’m gonna drop Vygotsky bombs all up in these crap factoriesl-wish me luck.
After this it’ll be planning the next units.

Hey Buddy!
I have this strong feeling that your cold call job search is going FANtastic. Afterall, when I first met you, I actually bought the respectable act for about a half day before figuring it out.
Now, I'm all about BS but I gotta say, I hope that you really aren't expecting to spout THAT much jargon when you interview. I think it can come off as somewhat transparent, and well, boring. Better to focus it on a few pieces of jargon, I think.
On the same note, I would drop Schaffer if I were you. Our C&I professor might not be a fan, but a lot of other people at schools I have visited seem to be.
Anyway champ, hope you are having a splendid break! Take care!
Vygotsky bombs away! Taco fighter, you make me chuckle. Look 'em dead in the face and say "You don't want me in this school. You NEED me in this here piece. These kids need a taco fighter, and I'm the best one west of the Missippi," (skip the second syllable in Mississippi for affect). Good luck!
