Today was a very busy and chaotic day. I can't believe that there are people in this world that are just okay with letting children down.
Example one: I work with 232 senior students. I would hope, with all the time and effort I have put into getting them to go to college after high school would show around this time of the school year. But how can students "want" to go to college when thier senior counselor only gives half of them the opportunity to take the appropriate college entrance exams??? One week before the students are to meet with college advisors, I remind him of the necessary test scores for the college advisors to use inorder to register our students. He "allowed" me to get the other 130 students tested in 5 days!!!.....how lucky am I to work with such a generous man who cares about the college education our future leaders will receive...#$%#@&@
Example two: I have never had an apology go so badly, where I am left scratching my head, wondering if that really happened. We had 87 students ready to job shadow, but at the last minute we were told that the "proper paper work was not filed." So we sent 87 dissappointed students back to class, canceled busses, sent substitutes home and teachers back to their class. The horrible apology came in the form of "corporate image protection," where I was explained about the statistics of 5.1 million of this and 10,000 of that happens in the corporate world. There was lots of cynicism and almost to the point of belittling what type of competence an educator could have. I dont understand why its so hard in the coporate world to say "im sorry".......Was that not taught in Kindergarten?? I can only conclude that Corporate America is always right, and big business will always triumph over the common man. (I never wanted more to go to law school than after todays useless conversation).
Cant wait to learn to fight for the little guy!!!!
Bridgedette and Larry's life as it happens. 2 people who were lucky enough to cross paths and become Best Friends.
2 Random People
- Bridgedette and Larry's World
- San Antonio, Texas, United States
- We are the most random people you will meet. Sometimes we just like to stay at home and be comfortable and some times we like a good adventure. We both know for certain that we like to help those less fortunate than ourselves (hence why we both work in similar fields) and that we have a unique backgrounds. Larry is intelligent, calm, and humble. Some of his favorite things are traveling, Batman, watching basketball, and making friends with the neighborhood cats. Bridgedette is smart, friendly, and a go getter. Some of her favorite things are watching Matt Lauer on the TODAY Show in the morning, eating cheeps and learning about new things. We have been laughing together since 2008 and plan to do so for the rest of our lives.
