Warning: Venting in the next few paragraphs!!
So my classroom, which is conveniently located on the end
of the hall at the end of the building, has AGAIN fallen
victim to vandals and theft. Our district's buildings have
been hit over the past couple months in a string of
robberies and break ins.
In other incidents, one teacher's purse was stolen, then
the thief took her car keys and found her car using the
unlock button, and stole her car too. School computers have
been stolen off our desks, many other items have gone
missing.
I have glass-painted windows on my emergency exit door, and
one of the windows was busted in so the thiefs could steal
the computer and phone from my desk, a vcr, a dvd player,
and a projector. Oh yeah, and they took MY lava lamp!!!
I am so disheartened this school year. We worked three
years without a contract, finally got a contract imposed
with horrid changes in health insurance and 0% raise for
the duration of those three years, and now this on top of
everything else. Is there a light at the end of the
tunnel??? I guess, summer's a month away...
