Three hours of classroom time is not enough
Today was the first day back for the entire staff. Our admin provided breakfast for us, and in typical teacher fashion, almost everybody was late. So breakfast started late, then the meetings started late, and the entire day ran about twenty minutes behind. Is it that difficult to make it to work on time.We spent the morning listening to people talk. First we talked about the new special education incusion setting at my school. Then we talked about the schedules. The principal introduced all the new teachers, and said congrats to those who had good things happen over the summer.
Then we had to go to our department meetings. Unfortunately I am once again part of the science department. I like the science teachers at my school, but I don't want to be one of them. I want to go back to language arts where my passion lies.
We were then given the afternoon to work in our classrooms. NEAT.
Except that after working in my room for three hours I am nowhere near ready to go. I have a ton of stuff to do, and there is no more time for us to work in our roomsbefore the kids come.
I do know that one woman, who had no right to assist in making this decision, said that if three hours isn't enough to get it all done, then we need to come in on our own time.
Hmmm, I don't have any of my own time.
So pooh. What do I do now?
