The Principal's Office

Getting called to the principal's office is never a good thing. In some ways it feels worse when you are a teacher. I think it has to do with having to be more responsible... or something... ;).

Anyway, One of my coteachers came in during my lunch and said the principal wanted to see all the English teachers. I was thinking that this was about "turning off the air con."

When we got down there I could see that the principal wasn't very happy. Since I had to be there... I was sure it involved me somehow.

So apparently during my canceled afternoon class a student hurt themselves. I was home sick and I called in and such. But some students didn't get the message I guess. I believed that since they were making such a big deal out of it, that the student hurt themselves in the classroom. Since ALL the English teachers were there to talk with the principal.

One of my co teachers told me the principal was trying to find out whose fault it was... Later on in the conversation we found out the kid hurt themselves in the bathroom by standing on the toilet-paper rack and it broke. The kid's leg scraped on something and got a deep cut (about 20 cm) and needed stitches.

Now, lets look at the story. The kid hurt themselves in the BATHROOM. I am pretty sure that it is a GOOD thing that we don't watch our students pee. They are looking for someone to blame? Ummmm how about the student?

Well, that is just silly. It is my coteachers fault for not filling out paperwork that I was sick.

That's right. Because she didn't fill out paperwork... The boy stood on a toilet-paper rack and hurt himself.

Oh my gas range this is silly...
