Because my co-teacher won't be there.

Actually, I like the fact I can relax more than usual.

I also appreciate the students because camps feel informal.

I also like behaving like a total idiot more often during camps.

My co-teacher told me in March, the Principal will decide who will be the

school's English teacher for the next year.

I sincerely hope it is not her. Today, I left school early

to pay my monthly bills. Last month, my co-teacher

was unhappy about the idea of me leaving school to pay the bills at

3.45pm. She felt it was too early.

I explained to her during summer camp the P. let me

go at 3.45pm.

Anyway, today I approach the P. via a person I know

that works in the V.P.'s office.

He has helped me out before with this. So, today I

asked him to ask the P. for a specific time I should leave to

pay the bills.

The P. said anytime I want, as long as I'd finished my work, which I

had. That was around 3.20pm.

I returned to my office and ushered my co-teacher to come over for

a minute. I explained to her what had happened, and advised her I was

going to pay my bills, that was around 3.30pm. I said I was telling her

this because I didn't want her to feel concerned about where I was, if she

wanted to find me.

I know if it was up to her she would want me to leave later than 3.30pm,

so I knew she was 'powerless' over this, and couldn't argue with

the P's decision. I felt quite happy to illustrate to her how quite

irrelevant she is in some ways. I'm so glad the P. finds my co-teacher

irritating too.

co-teachers blow.

I haven't had one in 3 years.

i like winter camps, not just because i don't have to deal with my co-teachers, but because my office is EMPTY, hell, the school is empty. it's so nice to have complete peace and quiet in the office.
i share with 3 other teachers: my fave co-teacher, and 2 head teachers, and then we have a billion kids coming in during break, lunch, before and after school, and honestly, it bugs me. i've tried talking to them, but they just giggle and stare at me, some of them stand behind me "reading" over my shoulder...i try to talk to them...nothing.
