Dear Diary,
Came to Valsayn
alone. Sadie and her mom went in the next maxi behind me. I was the only OJT in
the office again singing in the date for the book. I sent a message in the OJT
chat reminding the others about this week our timesheet would be due after
getting one for myself. I helped Miss Dana with stapling the Form 1 French exam.
Donna Mrs Raymond and Miss Leiba pooled
in and we finished it quickly while I collated.
At recess time, Miss
Roberts was not in school again. So, Miss Gittens handed me the papers to carry
up and keep for her until a student told me that Miss Gittens was looking for
me. I was told that Miss Roberts went to complain and make a big scene in the
office about not receiving her papers. I gave back the papers to Miss Gittens
and went back to 3L. She showed up to the classroom when the students were settling
into their seats. I had the theatre students and music students sit divided.
During the exam,
Miss Jones was not answering my calls or text messages when students had questions
about an essay question. The cover page said to do one structured question and
the instruction for the two (section 2) questions said to attempt both. I told
the students to pick the questions that they could answer the easiest first and
do that one and then try the other question. Jeanice found me from the other
classroom and asked about it.
Miss Jones came back
very late and then told the children that it was one of the two questions to
try. She also added that the children should try both and the question with the
highest mark will be taken. This was after many of the students submitted their
papers. She also did not like me sending off the students thirty minutes before
an hour.
At the end of
the exam, I gave the papers to Miss Jones and stayed with Miss Gittens until I
got out to find a quiet place. There was a meeting being scheduled by Miss
Roberts again. She got off very angry and moody that morning when I returned
her the Form 2 papers and said that I was not allowed to grade final exam
papers. She forced the meeting to suit her timing earlier and all of us (me,
Jeanice, Miss Gittens and Miss Roberts) were called into the Principal’s
office.
I got Jeanice
from the art room and we walked down to the office. Miss Roberts was actually early
for that meeting. Jeanice and I saw her when we got into the office. Strange
how Miss Chote was not there. Everyone sat in the same position as the last meeting.
I thank God that the meeting was short. ‘Doctor’ said that she had another
meeting to attend afterwards. I walked with Miss and helped her tally papers
for the seventh and eighth periods until it was time for shuttle duty.
We also had the practice
of “To the Ceiling” after shuttle duty. Miss Leiba was still not in the mood to
do the singing. We ran through the song three times with the steelpan but they
weren’t able to go with the tempo. I speed it up for them and the singing
slowed down. Then I slowed down the tempo and they sped up. We decided to the
song without the accompaniment and it worked better. Miss Roberts had left and
the music room was locked. We had to get a guard to open up for me to return
the instrument. I told the others it was better safe than sorry. Went to Curepe
with Mrs Santana.
