Re: ELEM: Internet Use

[Elizabeth Letterly <eletterl@ABELINK.COM>]

Is it just this year or what?  This morning when I pointed out that I would
not be in the library for three classes signed up at 7:45 this morning for
the library (i.e., the teacher is off sick but left no plans for the sub, so
she had her best friend teacher sign her classes up for the library), the
best friend teacher said, "Well, what's the problem with that?"

This year has just been this way and in my building it's been our teachers'
behavior, not the kids.  I'm so ready for a break, and my husband's after me
to resign.
