new plan

Become a school counselor!

First, must find out payrate. If 20,000 more a year, then I should do it!

*********
Postscript: Scratch that plan. It's the same damn payscale! Only administrators make more - Gomez's salary DOUBLED when he became Asst. Principal. He works longer days but he doesn't have to plan, grade papers, etc. - and he can go to the bathroom whenever he wants/needs, like adults usually do.

PS to that - the principal yesterday made an announcement that students are not allowed to use the restroom at all (1 emergency pass per semester) because they are congregating to speak with their friends and use their cell phones.

I have a hard time with this. I'll keep my head low until it blows over, but there is no way I'm denying a kid go to the restroom when they need it - and sometimes they just need a little break from class and they come back ready to do what they're supposed to. And how dehumanizing! "No, you may not use the restroom." Please!

We have two campus security officers plus two administrators and a counselor. We have one boys' and one girls' restroom. They cannot wander past and break up congregation if that's a problem?

Good grief.

This principal goes over the top about everything - he is Mr. Overreaction. I can't believe he's 62 years old and has been in education for 35 years. At some point, he should have mellowed out.
