Hmm, I read all of these with amazement. My experience has been exactly the
opposite. Just this year I had a little girl and her mother come in with Christmas
candy for me because, as the mom told me, she LOVES the library. Not generic candy,
but a sack with my name on it. The funny thing is she is just one of the "face in
the crowd" Kindergarteners. I really didn't even know her name. I probably didn't
say 10 words to her personally this year. You never know the impact you are
having on kids...whether it goes recognized or not. I guess that I should be
thankful to be in a school that values its library and program. I wish you all a
happier New year!

Subject: Re: [LM_NET] Christmas slap in the face!
I was slapped today too!
After inquiring about my role in the winter PARP program, today I was
old that PARP has nothing to with me.
Me: Why?
iteracy coach: Well, because it's *PARP* (insinuated duh!) It's for
ARENTS.
e: Oh, who organizes it here?
it Coach: The READING dept. PARP stands for Parents as Reading
artners. (as if I didn't know)
e: Well, I've been involved with PARP in other buildings, so I'd be
appy to help in any way I can.
I think a little bit of my tongue is missing from biting so hard.... :-)
ime for vacation!!!!

Reminds me of the time I had to explain to a student that yes, a school
ibrary WAS a real library. He thought a public library was the only
eal library.
Sigh, there is still educating and advocating to be done, eh?
