Good god. I was forced to attend a "curriculum meeting" today. I was taken out of my classroom in order to sit in an office meeting space to chat about English teachers' feeling-words and curriculum. God help me.
We did "get to know you" activities for a couple of hours, had a few breaks, and then went to lunch. Then we came back, and I was forced to listen to people talk about things which have absolutely nothing to do with me for four hours.
I was properly kicked off that committee a few years ago for asking the curriculum director what the fuck he was talking about, but a new person was hired, so I'm back in the shit-field.
The class I was representing is taught only by me, and it currently has 8 souls enrolled. Should I repeat that? 8 students. What a giant waste of school resources. I could have been actually TEACHING (which is my job), but I spent the day listening to other people with real curricular issues ... and trolling the internet out of boredom ... while another person was paid $22/hour to babysit my students.
Public schools, baby. Good stuff.
