I have no idea what’s going on

7 April 2008

Today was the opening ceremony for the new school year. This involved a lot of standing around, clapping and me only getting a tenuous grasp of what is going on.

Basically the principal at this one school is leaving to another school, along with some other teachers. The new principal here was the principal at one of my other schools. All the teachers are shuffled around entirely and aside from the fifth grade teachers becoming the sixth grade teachers I see very little rhyme or reason to the changes that actually took place! It’s bad enough that with 9 schools I’m incapable of remembering names of teachers but now “sixth grade male teacher at School X” could very well be replaced with first grade female teacher from another school.

I am going to be so confused this month!
