Another weekend, another inservice...another one on Monday...eight hours in a room with a computer. I think that people who read this blog with projected dreams of Alaskan adventure do not realize how many of our waking hours are spent in this building, doing "activities" of various sorts. The child-centered ones make sense. The adult-designed ones sometimes leave most of us wondering who came up with this idea.
My suspicion is that much of what goes on these days is dictated to our supervisors from very far away. It often seems to be possessed of no idea whatsoever of the realities of this place. It seems very detached indeed.
We are here for a half day of paid attendance. The rest of the day's work activities, lesson planning and the like, will come on our own, "free" time. My wife is back from Bethel. I am glad that she is here to share, and the boss is making breakfast for us. Some creature comforts await us, and I am grateful for that...
