This really sums things up nicely.

>SURVIVOR : CLASSROOM
>
>Have you heard about the next planned "Survivor" show? Three businessmen
>and three businesswomen will be dropped in on a primary school classroom
>for 6 weeks. Each businessperson will be provided with a copy of their
>school's curriculum, and a class of 28 students. Each class will have five
>learning-disabled children, three with A.D.D., one gifted child, and two
>who speak limited English. Three will be labelled with severe behaviour
>problems. Each businessperson must complete lesson plans at least 3 days
>in advance with annotations for curriculum objectives and modify, organise
>or create materials accordingly. They will be required to teach students,
>handle misconduct, implement technology, document attendance, write
>referrals, correct homework, make bulletin boards, compute grades,
>complete report cards, document benchmarks, communicate with parents, and
>arrange parent conferences. They must also supervise recess and monitor
>the hallways. In addition, they will complete drills for fire, bomb
>threats, and shooting attacks. They must attend workshops, faculty
>meetings, union meetings, and curriculum development meetings. They must
>also tutor those students who are behind and strive to get their 2
>non-English speaking children proficient enough to take the UNSW, Westpac,
>and Basic Skills tests, to name a few. If they are sick or having a bad
>day they must not let it show. If they are so bad they must stay home,
>they must be told how the other teachers will have an extra load to carry
>as they split up the absent colleague's class. Each day they must
>incorporate reading, writing, maths science and human society topics into
>the program. They must maintain discipline and provide an educationally
>stimulating environment at all times. The businesspeople will only have
>access to the golf course on the weekends, but on their new salary they
>will not be able to afford it anyway. There will be no access to vendors
>who want to take them out to lunch, and lunch will be limited to 30
>minutes. On days when they do not have recess duty, sports coaching, chess
>team supervision, drama /dance rehearsals, or detention duty, the
>businesspeople will be permitted to use the staffroom as long as another
>survivor candidate is supervising their class. They will be provided with
>two planning periods a week while their classes are on relief lessons like
>library or music. If the photocopy machine is working and not being used
>by the administrative staff, they can make copies of necessary materials
>during this time. The businesspeople must continually advance their
>education through in-service ccourses, some of which will occur after
>school hours, and/or at long distances from their home. They will be
>required to update their qualifications with an extra degree by attending
>University at least one night a week, and will have to pay for this
>themselves. This can be accomplished by moonlighting at a second job, such
>as tutoring private students in their homes, or marrying someone with
>money. The winner will be allowed to return to his or her job, which will
>be a real breeze after these six weeks.
