Captain Hook would never abide by this...

In additional news, the Student Council here is grilling lunch for all the teachers today as a "thank you" for the school year. Nice of them, and of course I shall attend because it means two things: free food (brats, no less!) and a little more time with some kids that I will indeed miss.
But here's the deal. This school is so two-faced, I feel like I'm leaking brain fluid out of my pores. Yesterday evening at our staff meeting, we "appreciated" some of the staff for their outstanding work on recent performances, for example, the Choir Director and the Band Director. But did we recognize the spring play, performed in between these two events? No. And why not, you ask? Certainly the Madame doesn't LIKE Drama, but she does her job well. Why not recognize her?
And the answer to that, boys and girls, is that three teachers out of hrair came to see the performance. And how many administrators? Zip. Also take into account the myriad teachers that told children they would be coming and then didn't show up. Bad form, I tell you. Bad form.
So no recognition for me. It's okay though -- yes, I am bitter, but you can't complain too much when the people who really matter (the students) are still bringing by thank-you notes and such. What a bunch of sweeties. Where they get it from in this district, I have no idea.
