Im afraid I was the overachiever, in charge of everything, giving orders….but that is who I am. And I enjoyed the overstressed schedule, that aspect of chaos. We are all different, thankfully!!! I dont know what matt would do without the older teachers mothering him, and loving taking care of someone!!!

well, since we are both teachers, i’m going to look at it from that perspective. If everyone did what you do (which is obviously nothing), then all the extra work would be put on the non-tenure teachers because they are the only ones that can’t say no. haha
Seriously, what kind of environment would we produce if all the committees were comprised of inexperienced teachers? it doesn’t sound very productive. That’s why SOME of us volunteer our talents to make the school a better place, even if it means doing work that you will not be paid for.
oh, i’m just kidding. Most of the committees are useless or do not accomplish much anyway. And several of the procedures that take place are just reasons to waste more paper than necessary. I really wish they would let us focus on doing our job (which is to TEACH!) instead of putting us in charge of the administrator’s responsibilities.
this is the longest comment i’ve ever left…. guess you touched a nerve
