My school had a two hour delay today, and I had to get my own little girl to her school, which was also on a two hour delay.
So what exciting adventure awaited me when I arrived?
Paperwork.
I received an email from the corporation office that they needed information for a "civil rights" report. They sent me a 32-page pdf with instructions, and asked for discipline info from last school year.
Four hours later, I was able to send them what they needed.
In the meantime, I had to deal with a lunch-time bullying situation, a disrespectful student, lunch duty, and a report of pot being smoked on a school bus.
Sheepdogs have to find balance. Paperwork is sometimes a necessary evil, but it cannot replace being in the halls, eyeballing kids, and maintaining a presence in the halls.
