I couldn't agree with this philosophy more. I work in a k-12 school. For K-5 I see the kids every week. I reinforce the classroom (when I know what is going on in the classroom); teach library skills; and foster a relationship with the students. For 6-12: I don't see some kids at all; when I am consulted to give a primer for resources, I get one 10 to 15 minute time with the students for instruction; often I have three minutes to prepare for the students (not their fault); teachers see me as a scheduler; and for most of the students I am the dictator that yell at them for talking when they come from a study hall. Interesting: we have a library curriculum that can't be met in any easy way because of this... BUT it is no different than the schools technology curriculum; the business teacher doesn't get any face time with the 9-12 students where he can teach these skills.
