I thought you were some old hag at least in you late thirties or something. Don't ask why.
Gosh!
My own sister is older than you!
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here. |

I came in just as you were leaving. I am guessing you are out for the summer now. (just like the teachers)

I WISH!
My busiest time. I'm not a teacher. I check to make sure exams are held correctly. That the papers are kept under lock and key. And that the exams are held under appropriate conditions, ie the room isn't too cold/hot or it has a quiet enough ambience.
Just to make sure that the exams are fair really.

So you supervise the kids themselves taking the exams? That is what is sounds like. That is cool. We should have something like that here.
One of my closest friends didn't have heat in their classrooms about 3 weeks a month in the winter (whole year). Boiler kept breaking down. So the kids wore their coats. Inner city school. Never mind the heat and comfort, some of these kids have parents that don't even feed them. Kinda unfair. You can try to make all the exams as fair as possible but for those kids they don't have a chance. (learning under such depressed conditions)

Well I wouldn't be allowed to do anything about a similar situation like that anyway. I would however be obliged to inform the schools inspectorate and push for something to be done. No, as long as the room that the actual exams are in a fit state with adequate heating conditions, then I couldn't do anything.
I don't actually supervise the kids, although if I suspected anything amiss I could.

See, that is what is wrong here. Sometimes the kids here (we do have mild winters) are really cold (some hungry because lazy parents didn't feed them). And on a Monday it is really bad for them plus the teachers too. Some of them have really cold hands and can't write properly. Some of the teachers I know started to keep a temp. journal, Principals have no pull, didn't really even give a shit because they got their huge raise. The newer schools in some areas are different.

Thats a disgrace. If the winters get too cold here and theres no heating, then the kids are told not to come to school.
As for hungry kids. I'm glad to say over here now more and more schools are adopting "breakfast clubs". A fantastic idea.

I dont know about BC, but here in Toronto, if there's no heat in the school, the kids dont go. Heat is essential. As is washroom access and nurishment.
We have alot of breakfast club programs here in They've been around for years. They are mostly in the lower income areas/projects.
I thought the same applied to all Canadian schools. Maybe Toronto/Ontario has a better education standard than the other provinces... |

BC is not as cold as Toronto so if the kids wear there jackets they won’t freeze. One of my teacher friends went and took the greenhouse heater from storage because he got sick of being cold. Another one bought a small space heater for his room. BC teachers I think buy so many of their supplies. My sister teaches kindergarten and she spend maybe 2,000. her first yr. on equip. A teacher retired and gave her a bunch of stuff so now she is stocked up.
My friend and room mate was a teacher as well. He actually started up a breakfast program where he worked. He did great things but there was always a benefit for him too. He went around to a bunch of supermarkets and got them to donate a bunch of food every few days. The kids would come in a cook it, he taught them how and the students would eat. This is the catch - including him, he loved his food. They have fun raisers now in his name . First time I drove by I almost crashed my car. They never told us, the family

How close to your 30'3 if you don't mind me asking. It is totally none of my business 
but I am ok with that.
