[Year 12 IT Apps] OT/ Timetable

Thu Feb 15 14:51:11 EST 2007

Thought you all might like a laugh...

One of the more experienced teachers on staff sent this email around to
everyone recently.

"At least one teacher who was here last year needs to use a dictionary
much more regularly!

In one of my reports last year I deliberately wrote that "Andrew has
been a voluble member of the class".  (Voluble means noisy or
outspoken.)  Some ignorant individual, while checking these reports,
apparently decided to change voluble to valuable.  This has totally
changed the meaning of that comment - from a mild negative to a strong
positive.  How can this hideous mistake be rectified?"

Spot on Cameron, 

No Air Con in our computer rooms.  But I'll keep Mark's comments in mind

next time I'm on strike-(which isn't likely with the current union

leadership).  After all we have to be vertical to attend the strike

rally.

Ps:  Some educational institutions are more equal than others.  That's

Howard's Australia for you.  Any other politicians, ed. Administrators

etc... I can splurge at email me a list and I will do my best.

But if he's warm because the school has no air-conditioning, he's 

vertical because he hasn't got time to sit down and the roses were 

pulled out and there is no gardner to replace them or money to buy them 

it can get a little overwhelming.

Hang in their Zach and just do what you can with what you've got. If 

anybody expects more, delete them.

Cheers
