Sitting on floor

[Mary Ludwick <ludwick@SWBELL.NET>]

Comment:
 We have a situation in another
 building where a principal told a second grade teacher that it's not
appropriate for her to have the second graders sit on the floor (carpeted)
during reading class.  She thinks they are too old for this.  What do you
people feel about this?

Response:
Sounds like a principal who needs to become more realistic or a principal
who is thinking of ANY reason to criticize a staff member.  At our K-5
school, we have no auditorium so ALL the children sit on a tile floor for
any assembly or program.  Storytime with the principal  is held with
students sitting on the floor. Teachers often have the entire class gather
and sit on the floor for ??? lesson.
