Hey Hey. It was the first day back for all us teachers today. We had a meeting from 8am to 330pm. What, you say? We need time to get our rooms ready? Ah! Who cares about that! We have to spend 7 1/2 telling you how we're not gonna take your shit this year, you better get your act together, you better do a good job.
Some highlights:
-if you miss more than 3 days for the entire year, you have to meet with the principal, more than 5 you get a "letter" and more than 7 you can be fired. glad i get 15 sick days.
-our new vice principal is a self-proclaimed computer illiterate, so if you do your grades online, you better have a hard copy too for her to look at. because that make sense.
-you have to go through ELEVEN steps before a student can be sent to the office. These include but are not limited to: meeting with student, meeting with parent and student, meeting with other teachers and student, meeting with counselor and student, meeting with social worker and student. When confronted about an "extreme" situation like a kid cussing you out, our other vice principal says, "sometimes you have to grin and bear it. You guys overreact sometimes." ummmmkay. which is a weird statement because, he "grins and bears it" and gets cussed out everyday and the kids hate him. I, on the other hand, lack the smackdown if somebody wants to act a fool, and therefore my amount of acting a fool is relatively low. hmmm.
I'm sure theres hundreds more that I can't think of right now because my brain has been turned to mush from seven hours of sitting and getting lectured.
