He was shocked that I wanted to keep the keyboard and mouse to use with my school laptop. I guess that's like hooking up a horse to pull your Mustang. BUT...I want that number pad to enter grades. I'm not going to allow my new laptop technology to slow down my well-oiled teaching routine. I am set in my ways, and don't want to learn any new computer tricks.Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762161034582025921.post-81194767209663793492009-08-04T11:28:32.399-05:002009-08-04T11:28:32.399-05:00I had acquired quite a few many desirable pieces o...I had acquired quite a few many desirable pieces of furniture, paid for out of my very own teacher (okay, pharmacist) money. I left it there when I quit. Part of me felt that it was just wrong to quit in the middle of the year, leaving them with a newly-licensed, totally inexperienced, and mostly incompetent replacement AND to haul off everything she'd been using in the classroom. I left a computer cart, two comfy chairs, a book shelf, lots of books, all my supplies-- staplers, etc., and even a set of about 30 wipey boards. Everything. In fact, the only thing I went back for was a MLK poster that I really like and my mini fridge. I told them to pass my stuff on to the new English teacher this year, but I'm sure it is all being parted out between the old teachers as we speak. <br /><br />I had an unwanted table once, and I was able to get a custodian to haul it away for me. He put it in the teacher's lounge that's not really a teacher's lounge but more like an un-air-conditioned boneyard for unwanted tables and broken computers that can't be thrown away because they're school property. Nobody even knows where they are, but one of these days someone will surely come through with an inventory sheet and if those broken items aren't there, they'll accuse someone of stealing them.Mommy Needs a Xanaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01807707012305893563noreply@blogger.com
