Some years ago I was in charge of the study halls at my high school. Study halls of 10 or fewer met in the library, while bigger ones met in a classroom. The library was closed during those hours. I finally was able to convince the administration that the library needed to be open at least some time during the day, so once in a while teachers were permitted to trade their class for my study hall when they wanted to use the library. I'm no longer at that school, so I can't say whether things have improved or not. Here, I'm a full-time librarian. We don't have study halls, and teachers are required to bring (and stay with) the entire class when they want to use the library. We also have a excellent discipline system. If a teacher sends a student to the office for disciplinary reasons, the student will not be back to that class that day, and maybe not for a couple of days. We don't have much patience here with students who disrupt classes, and the kids know it. As a result, we don't have the discipline problems that many schools have to deal with. Yes, I'm very happy here! No, we don't have any openings today (but many of us are nearing retirement age, so there may be openings in the future)!
