Any teacher will tell you so: the adults in the building are usually more difficult than the students. Case in point? Each teacher on the team is supposed to sign up to supervise eleven after-school study halls. I have written before about our brilliantly fair method, and yet... the lynchpin to the entire scheme has proven to be unstable. One certain person who, it must be said, doesn't want to do her share, is holding up the list. It is halfway finished and she has had it for six weeks. Six weeks!
At first, I tried to reassure the restless members of our group that it didn't really matter; we were scheduled until November. "Why do we care?" I asked them.
"I'm registering for graduate classes," one answered.
"I need to set up doctor appointments," said another.
"I have to arrange child care," explained a third.
All of us have busy lives and full schedules, and there comes a point when
we. need. to. know.
I empathize with every one! This person in question has professional issues with the arrangement, personal issues with the timing, other school commitments, she is young, what have you, but I have emailed, spoken to her personally, sent emissaries, and emailed some more without result.
Yep. It's time to tell on her.
Maybe you could just tell her which study hall she has & then others can choose. She might as well be upset as all the rest of you. I'm sad when others are so thoughtless of co-workers. Too bad for us all. Best wishes in this!
