Holy shit. Today made
up for yesterday not being its normal terrible self. ::shakes her head::
The sub we had today, Debbie J……I honestly have no clue how
she still has this job. She’s old enough
to almost be my grandmother, and can barely walk. Her voice is so quiet, you can hardly hear
her, even if no one else is talking. And
she doesn’t do SHIT for supervising the students.
We had TEN injuries today while they were out on the
playground – FIVE of which involved a student’s head. This is a big deal, because if it involves
their head, I have to not only fill out the standard Injury Report form, but I also
have to call and personally speak with the parent to let them know their kid
hit the head – no matter how MINOR it is.
And when I finally had a moment that I wasn’t doing
paperwork or talking to a parent on the phone – I took a group of students down
to the bathroom. I was looking out the
big windows that overlook our playground, and I see Debbie on her phone….WITH
HER BACK TO THE PLAYGROUND WHERE THE KIDS ARE PLAYING. I watched for a solid 5 minutes before I got
on the walkie-talkie and said “Hey guys.
Make sure y’all aren’t on your phones and are FACING where the students
are.” I didn’t want to call her out on
the walkie-talkie, as every aide has one…but seriously? I have to tell granny to get off her fucking
phone and watch the damn students??????
I feel like I’m always complaining, but I emailed Esmeralda
about it. With Debbie being a sub, I
didn’t know if I was able to write her up for this or not, as it’s a common occurrence
anytime she’s on my damn campus.
Esmeralda wrote back saying to “document it where you keep your staff
notes” (i.e. NOT an actual write up) and that she would have a talk with Debbie
about it. ::shakes her head:: I hate that I have zero confidence in my
supervisors. And I hate that it’s been
this way for about 3 or 4 years now. But
it is what it is.
