Dear Diary,
Got ready and
left early this morning. A nice lady was driving the maxi. Mr Marlon was on the
bus in front of me. The road of Sixth Avenue was empty so crossing the roads
was not so scary. As I entered the compound, Mel was chatting with the guard.
She asked joking at me, “Wuh yuh bring meh fuh breakfast?”
We laughed and I
went inside. She and I had breakfast with Mrs Greenaway. I shared some of my
pringles with them. When they shared what they had, I said, “I had some
Pringles, my pie, and I AM a little nuts.” They laughed.
Somehow roll cam
very soon. Miss Celia said that the basketball gate was still blocked by the
debris of yesterday’s flooding. She mentioned teachers singing the wrong
time in the attendance book and supervisors of the school being present
observing it alongside the behaviour of some of the staff. Shiva spoke with me
about his lack of red shirts. We were told about the red wearing to last until
Friday.
Throughout the
day Donna was loud about having no double periods free in the evening for her
to take bank time. We heard from Mr Pierre that George’s never had a band time
policy. It was only at Valsayn that a bank time book for teachers was first
introduced. She went on and on until Mr Pierre and Mr Charles came in.
At the same
time, "Nia" came in frightened that a big rat had run over her foot outside the
kitchen door. A comment came where the teacher is supposed to have the
knowledge and teach on the spot; not teaching from the textbook. I agree with
this one.
Thankfully it
was time for period 3. Jess got caught in a conversation with Donna again while
I was standing outside for a long. We had 1F for this first time because
of the new timetable. Seees as Miss Roberts did rhythm instead of Treble Clef
this time around. Very ‘interesting’ as she wanted me to do pitches and staff
first.
The
introductions were done first and then we got into reciting the words of the
George’s college song. She did the numbers challenge with the children using
three different beats of different genres, while I went to meet Mr Marcelle out
in the ‘lobby’ area and take him down to the music room. We were going to have
a panorama meeting, which went a little into the fifth period.
Finally, after
three weeks, I had accomplished Exodus Chapter 4. I felt as if I was being held
back from doing my readings. GG was asked to do a prayer at lunchtime when the
teacher assembled in the staffroom. She was ashamed at first and then everyone
left the compound for the second day of protest.
I did not leave
today. Only nine teachers remained in the staffroom. I saw Miss James briefly
in her green t-shirt. “Mr Hunte” was asking to open the music room and
supervise them but Jess was doing lunch. I didn’t go either. The day began to
progress into class time with 1L that evening. It was depressing that many of
them were not interested in music but that was expected by me. I was looking to
see if there were students interested in sports and sciences.
I left school
after 3. Went home to work on the Excel file for “Miss Celia.” I ended up from
4 to 9:35 in the night working on it. Finally, an annual summary was inserted
into the same Excel file. The formula for addition in single cells of multiple
workbooks was discovered for the annual summary.
The hour of
completion and checking over did not grant me the time to test-check the annual
summary page and the formula inserted. However, I am hopeful that it will work
and make life easier for whichever acting Vice Principal or Appointed Vice
Principal. I did not last long afterwards. I went to bed before 10:30 to bed.
