I haven't talked about school in a while. I try not too. It is just too crazy to talk about. Not crazy like BK or Martina. The crazy of their own making. They choose to be crazy. Taking perfectly wonderful resources, professionals and great kids and making a crazy situation.

It honestly is mind boggling how it happens. I've been trying to track down the assistant principal/sped leader and crazy woman extraordinaire. She requires that we update her on the "red zone" kids. Kids teachers are concerned about, receiving interventions and could possibly be referred. I work carefully with the teachers and intervention folks around the students as we are supposed to be and RTI school (ha! Well don't get me started on how we are not!).

So I am explaining who the kids are. And she interrupts to tell me this shouldn't be something I am doing. I shouldn't feel like I am taking on so much. WTF. It is required, in our handbook, and it isn't too much! She wants to know why I'm not talking about it with the team. WHAT team? There is no team. Or this mythical team she is talking about does not DO data discussions on individual kids. I started to have flashbacks to last year when she kept telling me to wait that the team would talk about it and never did.

Now she is going to call a meeting and fuck it all up. Sigh I had a handle on it. Teachers happy, kids being tracked and served. She is going to ruin it. I know it. She is crazy like that! Simply because if I do it right, then it shows it can be done. Then the expectation that others do the same and do their jobs will be clear. And clear expectations can't be had. If there are clear expectations and people succeed then how do you pick on people who aren't your favorites?
