Re: Eating in Library Conclusions

[T K Cassidy <TCASSIDY@WCPSS.NET>]

Don't you think your "conclusions" are a bit, how shall we say.... well, not
so much rude as abrupt? I really don't mean to flame but I have a 4 day a week
"lunch bunch" that meets in the LMC. The children love it and I think its a
good program. However, I get tons of complaints about the noise, the sticky
tables, the floors not being cleaned...from teachers, from parents, and from
custodians! And I'm not even in charge of it!!!

I am hardly compulsive nor am I afraid of bugs nor do I think my little
darlings are animals ...... try it for a few months and see if you don't
change your POV!

Best!

Subject: Eating in Library Conclusions

The responses were interesting.  I was able to form these unscientific
conclusions:

1.  A good number of LMTs(Put in your own title) are very concerned with
and even fearful of bugs, especially cockroaches.

2.  An even greater number seem compulsive about neatness.

3.  A smaller number than those fearful of cockroaches are willing try
anything and don't worry about bugs.

4.  A good number of LMT think students are animals and unable to adhere
to the most basic standards of cleanliness.

Knowing this I am going to formulate policies and procedures and I will
post them.  Thank you all and watch out for those roaches.
