Playing favorites

Well, we have a librarian, thank god. She's only part time, but it's something. Not much, but something. I believe that she used to be either a librarian or a language arts teacher. I'm currently in the library, and as I look around, I see that the library is a mess, but now it's a mess from books being taken off of the shelves, stacked, and organized. It looks like she's giving the place an overhaul.

I still think it's ridiculous that we don't have a full-time librarian. We can't afford one, and yet we can afford to send four teachers from the high school to a conference at $300 per person plus food and lodging expenses. At this conference, a teacher from our school was honored as Navajo County teacher of the year, but none of the teachers from our school even knew about the conference. Our teacher who was honored got to go to the conference for free but had to pay for her own hotel room. Our superintendent honored her and our school by wearing a faded CDJH t-shirt and blue jeans. The following day, he honored the high school by wearing newer jeans and an Alchesay High School t-shirt. On the third and final day, he honored Whiteriver Elementary with a (you guessed it) Whiteriver t-shirt. No mention of 7 Mile or Cradleboard Elementary was made. The high school and Whiteriver El. are great favorites of our superintendent.
