Willow ,'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My daughter's teacher is at school when the kids are allowed to arrive, at 7:15, and we generally run into her when we pick Casper up from afterschool, at 5:15. That's a 10 hour day, even if she weren't taking work home, which I am sure she is. And she teaches first grade.
ETA: She makes $43,700. (Thank you opengeorgia.gov. She has 6 years experience and a master's and was teacher of the year last year.) Her parapro, who is awesome, makes $16K.
Locked my keys in my car this morning, along with my computer. Fucking Tuesday.
I can not speak rationally about those what have the opinion that teachers make too much money for only working 8 months out of the year.
Fucking Tuesday.
All Tino's fault.
Which, I have a student by that name, so everytime we blame him here, I just giggle.
only working 8 months out of the year.
Which cracks me up. Because, even if you discount any work done over the summer, I still work 9.5 months in the classroom each year.
Right, but if you look at it from an hours-per-year POV, then you are still working a shit-ton beyond the average 40 hrs/week office person.
Which, you totally know and I'm preaching to the choir, I just wish people (read: idiots) weren't so adamant about the 12 months thing.
I'm overwhelmed and undercaffeinated. Also, I dumped a third of a cup of coffee into my laptop last week, and the screen is all fucked up. And scholastic rejected Sam.
I have come here to complain at all of you.
BOO!
Sorry Allyson.
Tino has wrecked his vengence on both Dana and Allyson today. Fuck you, Tino!!!
And scholastic rejected Sam.
Pooptastic. Is it up for consideration elsewhere?
meant to post that bit in Bitches...
