This is an e mail received this morning from the head of the English department at my school:
Dear Teachers:
We know Kate has done more than her share of test preparation and camp lesson planning. We want to correct this situation. To start Gerry will prepare all the grades five and six tests this term. Also Bette will prepare all tests for grade three and four for this term. Tests must be emailed to the other teachers two weeks before the test date. As will allow other teachers to make any changes needed for their individual class.
I've gotten one response from a co-worker and it was slightly sarcastic and cunning, but that is to be expected. I do not anticipate this going over well with the others. But I'm glad that the burden has been taken off of me, and the work divided evenly.
After Wednesday's brawl with Bette, I'm sure that this semester is going to unfold a lot differently than last. We have begun a semester with division within the department, tension, and hard feelings. I have a feeling it's going to remain this way for the next 19 weeks.
19 weeks. 5 days. I'll be home. Just keep going. Just keep going.
Time to go out for the night and not think about SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Valentine's/Single's Awareness Day!!!!!!!!!!

Well once again I have been so busy that I just got a minute free and read 2 months of blogging in one half hour! I have to comment on your last couple of posts....THAT FRICKING BLOWS. It's so ironic too...we're studying about "culturally competent nursing" right now and what you're saying goes right along with what my textbooks say about asian cultures. The nursing books say they will "avoid conflict and switch doctors before actually saying they don't agree with the treatment plan" That sounds exactly like what your landlord did!!!! I'm just emapthizing with you, I can't believe what they did! That was a few days ago that you wrote that so hopefully you've got some stuff figured out by now...we'll talk soon! luv ya and miss you!
