Regarding students not being in my class to "finish up" or whatever in another
class, I would like to share what I heard many years ago when I was a substitute
teacher. I was in the lunch room with the teachers when the music teacher vented
that it was not right for the classroom teacher to keep a student out of music to
finish homework, punish, or whatever. The time in music was the music teacher's
not the classroom teacher's. If the student needed to be kept from something, it
should have been recess, reading time, or some other time that the classroom
teacher had control over. How right the music teacher was. All of us "specials"
have a curriculum we are trying to follow, things the students are supposed to
learn from us, etc. If WE take a student from our class for some reason, that's up
to us; we know what he is missing. But, it is not at all right for another teacher
to keep a child from our class. I've always rememberd what the music teacher said
in all the years I've been a librarian. Have I called a teacher on it when a
student hasn't been allowed to attend my class? Well, no. But, I would encourage
all of us to remember that we have the RIGHT to expect all kids to be in our class
on OUR time.
