Joe and others,
It gets especially tough when the principal says yes
to the PTA group and you find out when the PTA wants
to borrow the LCD projector.
It has always been tradition with my principal and
PE teacher that a movie would be shown over closed
circuit after field day. This year I said no.
Teachers had no clue as to what to do. Some asked
their kids to bring in movies. Of course the kids
brought in PG.
I stated copyright law at a faculty meeting and was
laughed at. What do you do?
Leaving isn't an option. It's one of the best
schools in the state. When I ordered videos for the
opening of the school four years ago the principal
nixed popular videos and wanted only curriculum
related stuff.
