Be forwarned that in the corprate world one must know what is their repsonsibility and what is not. Apparently if you are an educator and you walk out of your room and smell smoke its not your responsibily to find the source of the smoke and if it just happens to be the trash can blazing in the boys bathroom its not your responsibility to put out the fire. Please also remember that if you leave your room to put out the fire that is burning in the bathroom trashcan and the superintendent walks in the building while you are combating the flames and two of your co-workers tell him/her that they are watching your class because you are dealing with a "FIRE", that instead of checking on the situation (which I might remind you is a "FIRE") they might actually sit in your class and time how long it takes you to get back and then have your supervisor chastise you for leaving your room while kids were "unattended" despite the fact that two other educators are monitoring them. During the "lecture" you recieve from your supervisor they might also point out that while they appreciate the fact that you put out the "FIRE" it was not your responsibility because you are not an administrator, no one left you in charge, and you left your kids "unattended" in the process of doing so. Apparently they will also convey that the correct procedure would have been to notify an administrator, oh wait, I forgot to add that there were no administrators in the building...no principal, no assistant, no guidance counsler, and no one knew who was "in charge". My reply....next time let it burn.
Does anyone else out there see the lunacy here?
Sorry for the rant....had to vent.
