just a follow-up to my earlier post–
so we kept all 700 inside. i had bought a pair of paper viewers with the appropriate filter and brought my camera to school. i also had asked another teacher without a class at the time to watch my class for 10 minutes or so during the peak for our area (75%). when i mentioned it to my principal and told him i had bought the viewers 3 months back because i wasn’t going to miss it he told me in all seriousness that i had to fill out an early release form for teachers and that i should have turned it in friday because they are required to be turned in the schoolday before the release. i came within a millimeter of asking him if i needed to fill out a form for the next day in case i have to go to the restroom during my class time. i think he could feel the sarcasm and irritation flowing from my eyes because he told me to get the paper to his assistant as soon as i could and he took off down the hall at a fast clip. after i got done i passed the viewers to as many teachers on my hall as i could before it was over so they could duck out for a few seconds and watch it.
