I too have problems getting teachers to let me help
them help the kids. I asked both my principal and
assistant principal last year if the media center was
being run as they expected (it was the first year in
three years working here that I actually got to do the
media center without having to teach science or other
classes.)
They thought everything was great! Why would I even
ask?
I told them they are paying alot of money for a
babysitter (there are study halls in the media center
all but one period per day). They just didn't get it.
So how do you change the perception?
With all of the study hall supervision it is difficult
to connect with teachers. I see the two or three who
have the same planning period as I do and two or three
more over lunch but that's it.
I'm becoming resigned to being a glorified babysitter
and have abandoned all hopes of attaining national
certification.
