Just What We Need

So the company that took us over has these people who randomly come in and meet with us to tell us how horrible we are. A good time is had by all.
Last week, the woman in charge of School Climate (who lives in Texas) flew in for a day to tell us this: "We're just not having enough fun here! And that's our goal, right? To have fun!" Well, besides the fact that no, that is not our goal...how would she even know anyway? And one of the many problems with this "goal" is that children and adults have waaaay different definitions of "fun." I actually think the kids are having a blast: no consequences, running around doing whatever they want, not having to do any classwork...sounds like a party to me.
Anyways, I don't even want to dedicate an entire blog post to this woman because I don't want to validate her ridiculousness. The point of this post is this:

(Also, my beautiful reader(s), this is secret information!)

Apparently New Principal (the one who showed up after Thanksgiving, keep up people!), got a FOUR PAGE MEMO from the Turnaround Director chastising her for what she is doing as a principal. Now, this memo was received before Christmas, so she had been principal (for the first time ever) for a grand total of three weeks before getting a FOUR PAGE MEMO. The secretary overheard her saying that she understands what the previous principal had been complaining about.

So, we get an email from the Fun Is The Goal Lady saying that we are going to re-teach these lessons she gave us earlier in the year about behavior. (Lesson #1: Attendance is Important!) There's like a song and a chant and some other B.S. (sidenote: how stupid does she think these kids are...reteach the EXACT SAME LESSON?) So we get the email last Wednesday saying to teach these blahblah lessons this week.

TODAY we get a memo from New Principal stating that CLASS TIME IS FOR CONTENT RELATED MATERIAL AND NOT BEHAVIORAL LESSONS.

So, to give you an update on my mood, I am SO PSYCHED that my principal and the company that is in charge of our school are going to wage a petty email/memo war instead of ACTUALLY HELPING OUR SCHOOL. Thanks so much guys, this is what they pay you the big bucks for.
