Just looked at mine for the first time. My picture is the very last of the photos. Right behind the secretary and the girl who sharpens the pencils. Very last out of forty staff members, although of those forty only three actually taught the grade six students - one of whom was me!

Guess I can't complain too much. Last year they left me out of the album altogether. Anyone else have their photo left out of the album, or had it relegated to the very last spot?

A minor thing perhaps. But when one walks into the teachers' room at my school the Korean teachers pictures are in one location. The secretarial staff, gardeners etc are in another. Guess whose picture is placed with the 18 year-old secretaries pictures and the security guard.

Just one of the thousand small things that bother me. (I won't even get started on K teachers who bring their kids to my class five minutes after the bell has wrung announcing the beginning of class. )

Nope. I'm in the grade 3 middle school and grade 3 high school graduation albums with all the KTs. I must say that my co-workers have been excellent when it comes to including me in stuff, to the point where there's sometimes even a bit of competition between my middle and high school.

Mines in there on the same page as the principle and vice principal...

I am in the yearbook but I did not notice / remember / care where in comparison to the other teachers. I try and avoid all of the politics that can go with this job and focus on the classroom. If the kids are learning, my classes are going smoothly and the pay is on time, they can put me in the back of the book and label me the janitor for all I care.
