I thought that the amount of mail and email in Irish schools was ridiculous, and it is. Now what is the superlative of ridiculous? because that is what it is here. It is seven o' clock at night and I still have a mound of letters sixteen inches high (I measured!) and 71 emails to open. Professional development is a money racket here as there is so much money available in school budgets for it. You also get the usual brochures and catalogues to do with sport, religion, literacy, numeracy etc. Then the Dept send letters and emails and the CEO send mainly emails, all on a daily basis. As I am an NAP I have to be a bit more careful that I do not throw out or delete something important, so I can not 'empower' the school business manager. Anyway, I'm off for a cup of tea and a sambo and when I come back I will fill you in on how long it took to open the backlog that has built up since Easter.
OMG 20 mins to open the letters which was bad enough, but 45 mins to sift through the emails is OTT. I have printed out over 20 but will have to leave them until tomorrow as I am brain dead and have a pain in... (you guessed it my two shoulders!) "Handle each piece of paper once," how are ye!
...5 mins for the cup of tea and sambo!
