adults, round II

Yesterday I was interrupted at the end of my grade level meeting by a frantic administrative assistant. It was 11:15am and my class was still upstairs in the room! They need to be taken to lunch! They're already five minutes late!

I went dashing up to my classroom to find utter chaos. The computer teacher apparently decided that she should move some children from blue to red (rather than incrementally, one color at a time). Children were crying and several had been hit by either Eli or N. Or both.

We transitioned fairly quickly to lunch and I was able to stop most of the tears by about 11:20.

Here's the kicker: guess where the computer teacher was headed, that she was so busy she couldn't take my class down to the cafeteria?

Lunch Duty. That's right. She kept my kids and made them almost 10 minutes late to their 20 minute lunch because she didn't want to walk them down. Then, she followed.us.down.to.the.cafeteria. Not to mention that when I am in a grade-level meeting she is supposed to take them down.
