*Teacher Appreciation Week *Heffalump <at least at my workplace> As some of you know, it was teacher appreciation week last week. Parents at my workplace bring in food for breakfast/lunch/snacks. I knew that this was a cause for trouble. People were grazing the whole damn day, not paying attention to the kids to squeal over what was in the break room and calling my director and myself to "cover them for the bathroom" distracting us from our own work.  There were people packing thise gallon zip-lock bags full to bursting with food to take home. It is fine to take a little, yes, but show some damn appreciation to the people who put their time, energy and money into making YOU feel apprection.  Thank you to all the shit!teachers who are fighting the good fight. I hope my boys will have one of you when they start public school. ;)
