It's gettin hot in here...

My thought of today concerns the amount of money schools spend on things. Let's talk about it. Today I have on short-sleeves (not to be confused with Short-Sleeves, that kid from college whose sleeves were always too short and once, just once, I swear he had cigs rolls in them a la John Travolta in Grease.) I made a careful outfit choice today because it is supposed to near 60 degrees, but primarily because I know it will be Africa Hot in my classroom. Now, we get a note to read everyday at work about the day's events (printed on school paper, from a school printer, with colored ink.) Then there are always more photocopies going around saying a)we have to pay for our personal calls using the school phones and b)we have to stop making so many photocopies. Isn't that a little counter-productive? We get copies to remind us not to make copies? I am surprised they don't make phone calls to remind us to pay for our phone calls!
Moving on... today I walk into my classroom (oh, and my boards weren't cleaned last night yet someone was PAID TO CLEAN THEM) and it's actually hot in here. It's going to be 60 degrees today and yet the heat is on, the heat is a-on. I was caught up in the action but I was looking out for you, oh-o-o, oh-o-o, Tell me can ya feel it? Tell me can ya feel it? Tell me can ya feel it? The heat is on. (Oh my God, so sorry for that...) Doncha think we could save a few doll-hairs but cutting the heat on these 60 degree days? Doncha? And maybe we could email about watching our copy numbers? And maybe we could fire the custodian that doesn't clean my boards all week and have a kids we don't like clean them? Maybe if they did these little things I might have more than one computer in my classroom that works! Suze Ormen, watch out. JW is cutting corners and heads are gonna roll...
