…the system. The freaking school system. Specifically, the people down at the county who decided that the damn science department could have my classroom. It’s MY classroom and it’s nowhere near the rest of the damn science classrooms. It’s the MATH classrooms. It’s my damn classroom. Mine. I waited for it and I love it. It’s huge. I get to arrange the desks in patterns which are non-linear. It has two storage cabinets with shelves, plus a ‘closet’ where I can hang up my coat and also have room for storage of stuff. I just got a new filing cabinet in there. I haven’t even broken the damn filing cabinet in yet. All I’ve done is make sure the lock works. That’s it.
AGH! I want to hurt someone. Someone needs to die for this.
I’m tired of the math department getting shafted. They’ve already taken one classroom from us. They told us at the beginning of the year that we were going to lose two classrooms. Now it’s up to FOUR classrooms we’re going to lose? What the fuck?! HELLO?! We need those classrooms! All they’ve said that they are taking the classrooms. There was no mention of us receiving new classrooms. None. It’s ASSUMED we will be pushed down toward where English currently is, but that’s not official. It’s assumed.
People. Let’s review. There are 19 math teachers. 19 of them. We already have 2 full-time floating teachers and two part-time floating teachers. Taking four classrooms means we would be up to six full-time floating teachers. (If you float – you move from classroom to classroom to teach. There is no classroom to call ‘yours’.) Okay. Fine. Whatever. However, the math department office is *not* big enough for eight desks. I’m sorry. A teacher who has no classroom needs at least a damn desk for work and files and shit. But the math office is not big enough for eight teachers to be in there. Not at all.
WHAT
THE
FUCK!
LEAVE MY CLASSROOM ALONE!
I’ll cut you……
I feel better. Sorta. Maybe.
Not really.

Perhaps you should show them the Math of the situation since clearly their Science background has not prepared them for reality..maybe it’s Science Fiction they are teaching?
I thought math was supposed to be like a priority thingy…or something like that. Tell NCTM to come help you!!! Maybe you can get the little guy who does their picketing to sit in front of the county office!!! =)
