Posted by Mike BSC2000 on 10/02/08 I had a "spat" with a teacher last year via the issue bin. THe chorus teacher, who takes off about 3 days a month or more and has the worst behaved kids in the building, decided to pull her kids from core classes to PRACTICE for some upcoming concert the last two weeks before EOGs last year. Long story short, I put it on the issue bin and someone replied "quit whining", to which I replied, "I'll quit whining when you quit cashing your ABC checks!" While it may not have been the most professional thing to do, I was just simply frustrated with the selfishness displayed and allowed to occur by admin. I always joke that next year I want to be the chorus teacher! On 10/01/08, You are correct! wrote: > Yep, I got 302$ also.
