Am I the only MS that has noticed that our actual job is NOTHING like what we were told it would be?

I mean I know there will be a difference between theory and practice but it is getting outrageous. It is to the point that we are put in a positon that anything someone can dream up becomes our responsibility.

For me it's not "hard work" I have a problem with, it's a lack of respect. I really feel like some princpals treat MS as just an extra hand in the school. Its a legal way to have an extra "helping hand" in the school without having to pay extra for them.

They need to change our job descriptons to something that can't be tweaked by administrators.

Booklady If you have a MLS, then maybe you should look at positions in the Public Library. I have worked in both schools and public libraries and there is a fine difference. Yes, Media Specialists/School Librarians are catch-alls at times. I don't believe that happens nearly as offen in the public libraries.
