And an up date: Yesterday I came across a student who has 15 (yes,15) "Warning of Suspension" letters* sent home so far this year. Have they been suspended? No.

WoS is what parents receive when the student is seriously out of control.

... and we teachers are not permitted to make more than one photocopy copy of anything, unless form signed by a superior is submitted at least a day before we want them. WTF !?!?

... and I am not permitted to go in to school on the weekend to do preparations because, FIIK ....... (Well, actually, they don 't what to give us the alarm key.)

... and we are not permitted to have ANY excursion (no matter how reasonable) because we have no money for a casual teacher to take our classes. Of course, if you can sucker in 6 other teachers to donate their preparation time to supervise your classes, then OK, good luck.
