Oh gosh I hope not!!!!

So how was today in your neck of the woods?

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

Well, it wasnt' too bad. But I had the weirdest thing said to me while at work today. The main teacher in the class I was in felt the need to remind me that everything that happens in her classroom and her students are to remain confidential. Well DUH!!! I couldn't figure out what her issue was. I told her that I had never had an issue with confidentiality before. She said she had been having some issues in her room lately. Well don't look at me. It was my first day in her room this year.

Paige-I am so glad to hear your mom is fine and everything will be ok

I CANT STAND haunted houses. I end up crying in them. Once I went in one at Six Flags with my dad and brother. I was about 15. After clutching my dad's hand hard enough to make him lose circulation and dragging my heels begging him not to go in the next room (we were in the middle of the house) I ended up running out the emergency doors screaming. I don't do haunted houses anymore. I also have a history of running people over, holding up the line, clutching anyone near me even if they are the boyfriend of a friend (I dont care, they are someone to hold onto), screaming loud enough to shatter eardrums, and just generally ruining the fun of others.

Well, for that matter, everything about all the kids really is confidential. Teachers don't just go around telling the neighborhood about Johnny-who-threw-the-chair-at-me or Jenny-who-is-failing-math.............geez.

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

How about you, other than what I already know? Did you have a good day at school?

 

[Southern4sure]

Finally getting a chance to check in and it is almost bed time. Im soooo tired today. I worked the book fair at Ds school then went to our community Octoberfest party and just now arrived at home.

How was everyones day today?

I have also done ALL of the above................

Now I can look back and laugh since I know I will never be forced to go in one again. About the 6 flags one....my brother informed me afterwards thhat a group of guys my age were laughing their butts off. Go figure.

Yes, mostly. The kids are so good this year, if we could ONLY be quiet in the hall........I haven't got them there yet. And they are all doing quite well academically. The ones with challenges are doing far better than their history would suggest, and those without are sailing.............
One problem. All grades have to be in Monday, and for some unknown reason our district changed our computer-based gradebook this year, and the new one is UNACCOUNTABLY slow. It's an average wait of 3 minutes per assignment wait to save.............12-20 assignments per subject, 7 subjects.....see the problem?

HI S4S.................... .............mostly okay.

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

No kidding. I have had several jobs where confidentiality is imperative. I have never been questioned about it. I would never discuss another child even with DH and mention a name. My kids go to that school, I wouldn't want them to say anything or have them think anything about a child that they don't need to think. I was almost insulted by it.

 

[dolphinrescuegirl]

Allrighty guys my DH needs the computer to study. I'll talk to ya'll later.

That's why I can't really ever vent about work...........even on here..........it's just not done.

 

[paigevz]

Bye Kim, we hardly got to talk at all tonight.......

And your grades are due Monday. I guess you wont' be getting any sleep this weekend will you. Maybe it won't take to long to get all the grades in.

 

[Princess Mindy]

good evening all. I'm at my dads place up near Madison Wisconsin. Took me 3 hours to get here after work. Not fun at all. But I made it

I'm sorry to hear about the results Bonnie. I hope you get whatever is wrong resolved soon so you can start feeling better!

I also don't like haunted houses. Although there was one I went to that was so lame that I walked through almost silently. There was this guy with a mask on who stood in front of me and waited for some kind of reaction. I screamed just so he would get out of my way!

I'm going to go in and get them in the gradebook tomorrow, then start seeing how the computer goes. If it doesn't go well, I'll have to go in again on Sunday.

Hi Mindy!
