Students from study hall

[Shelley Costello <sacostel@MARYSVILLE.K12.OH.US>]

Dear Netters,
I've been following the comments regarding how many students from study
hall are recommended. I find myself in a rather unusual position
considering today's library philosophy. My principal sees the library as
a support for the study hall. Teachers may not schedule time with me or
exclusive time in the library for research. No such thing as
collaboration in this building. This is a middle school with around 700
students. Of course I didn't know that I wouldn't be able to work with
the staff and set my own guidelines for numbers (the assistant principal
must carry out that decision) when I accepted the position. Is there
anyone out there in a similar situation?? How do you handle it??
Obviously the students who come regulary are not here to do research or
work. Anyone????
Thanks,
Shelley
