It should have been pretty slack, but this teacher only day has left me feeling pummeled. We had a workshop where we picked five things that we as a staff are going to all work on. Everyone. And we picked the Csequences that we would all use for infringements. There were arguments about what five to choose, how to administer the paper work, and the Csequences. We are like a lot of teachers; great at bringing up the problems but not so skilled with solutions. It was a long and draining session.
Then I have this class to teach which no-one has a cirriculum for, no one knows what year the kids in the first rotation will be, and there is a whole heap of paperwork to do before we start. It is frustrating and quite scarey. When I don't have a clear objective and attack plan, classes get way out of Ctrol real quick.
Then the before and after care for C has quit. R is going to sort something - I've sorted something twice already, and it is his turn.
The only good parts so far is I managed to voice the opinion of the staff majority and force change to an admin system that is not working, and I get to bike to work now instead of dropping off the kids.
