It's been one of those days......................

Maybe it's just me, but it seemed like everything and everyone was determined to get on my last nerve today. It started with a certain administrator telling me that we would have something else disrupting our class time in connections. As usual!! Let's see..............next was a certain ESEP teacher assaulting me about the 6th graders and their bookbags. Apparently there are some parents who are all hot and bothered about the string bookbags and they have formed a coalition to protest the use of them. (Wow! Some people really have too much time on their hands.) Anyway! This teacher told me that the 6th grade teachers "are not going to fight that battle" and apparently aren't going to enforce the bookbag rule. Since SHE is NOT my administrator I am choosing to enforce it until told otherwise. Funny thing is, when she found out we asked someone up front about it she backpedaled really quick and apparently IS enforcing the rule. Things that make you go HMMMMMMMMMMMMM? It doesn't end there! One of the grade level teachers is complaining because the connections teachers are marking the kids tardy when they are late. Well it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out if you come in after the bell you're late. DUH! I'm sorry but we only have 45 minutes of class time, I am NOT delaying it because some of the academic teachers are whiney.
