Picture the pilot of a jumbo jet also serving as the baggage handler, or a bank president rolling pennies. You get the picture.Parents, are you aware that your child's teacher is wasting valuable classroom preparation time, parent communication time and extra student attention time on such an inappropriate chore?
If I had a child in the district, I'd be bombarding the district office with e-mail, phone calls and petitions demanding a better solution.Yes, all California schools are in a budget dilemma - but how many other districts are taking their best and brightest assets and squandering their talent?
