Yes Ray, and I can make stuff up as well. The minute I trust what someone writes on here as truth is the minute hell freezes over. Teaching is a lot harder than people give them credit for, I know I wouldn't want that job, but am thankful these people do.

Congrats to the winners, nice to see more than just elementary school teachers winning the golden apple.

More making stuff up--

I am always happy when a great teacher is recognized and honored.

However, here is my take on why their names do not appear: perhaps some of these "winning" teachers did not actually teach their classes, and a full-time student teacher taught the class instead.

This is what happened to me when I trained as a student teacher in Collier.

I taught full-time as a student teacher, and had to stop teaching whenever the Golden Apple committee came to observe, so the regular classroom teacher could then jump in and pretend she had been teaching.

She then "won." However, she didn't actually teach. Those were my lesson plans, my materials, my ideas, etc.

BTW, she went on to become principal, despite not having the degree required.

That's life in Collier County Public Schools.

One scam after another...
