8/19 ~ Unnecessary
As I was rushing about this morning, trying to get testing completed for the first graders, my secretary called me on my cell to let me know I had an upset parent in the office. According to the secretary, she told her that she was NOT leaving until she saw me.
I was tempted to let her wait a few hours.
After I got the testing materials delivered, I went to find out what had to be dealt with immediately. Her concern? Her daughter didn't get all of her recess because the teacher had her stay in for a few minutes to redo something on a class assignment.
I will see what I can do about that child having a teacher who cares and tries to be sure her students understand what she teaches. Clearly, it would be better for the child to play for the entire 15 minutes rather than learn something that could help her academically.
There are so many times that I have to just internally shake my head and bite my tongue.
