So far I have spent hours and hours and hours on school stuff that should've been completed during the school day. But, no, I have to waste my valuable time playing catch-up and fixing things and rewriting things and taking surveys for people who have no clue what I do all day long.
I get administrative emails instructing me to do important things, who-what-where-when-why type emails, like where to take the kids for a fire drill. When do these emails arrive to my in box? Moments before the actual fire drill, while I am on my feet teaching.
"Why didn't you pay attention to the notice I sent?" I am asked.
Because.
"Because WHY?"
Because I AM TEACHING!" Damnit. Isn't that what I'm being paid to do? I could be wrong. I've been wrong before; I'll probably be wrong again in my lifetime.
I'll tell you what. I'll leave some paper and some writing implements near the door. Write a note to someone who cares, fold it up, and eat the sonofabitch because it will get processed a lot faster that way than if you pile one more thing on my plate right now.
