June 20, 2013 Teachers Changing Rooms

Dismantling the Classroom
Among the demands of end of the year responsibilities such as grading tests and essays, calculating averages, assembling binders of evidence proving that one was, in fact, actively teaching this year, and proctoring Regents exams, several teachers, also, must relocate their materials to another classroom. This is not a room that is located next door or even in the same hallway. These moves entail a half mile of corridors, ramps, and sharp corners to the opposite end of the building. A colleague and I helped a couple of our co-workers pack their supplies in boxes which we then loaded on a long cart, maneuvered through the halls, and unloaded in the newly assigned classroom. Our driving skills were less than stellar, but we managed to make two trips without crashing, and we had a good laugh.
