<<Although it may be very difficult, try to go along with the expectations of
your administration. Plan lessons that will fit in with all these changes.
For example, there are probably enough art projects to carry you to the end
of the school year which require minimum materials: pencil, paper, crayons,
scissors, markers, etc. Use your imagination and not only will your work
load be greatly reduced, your students will learn what it means to be truly
creative. Best wishes, Mselle>>

She's back!!
I have had to wait a day before I respond to this email from poor Astroboy
(Sandra). I am so sorry! I waited because this kind of stuff makes me
physically ill! When are people going to see that the arts should be a pillar
of strength to uphold the other academic subjects. Can you imagine them
telling a fourth grade teacher or a math teacher, or a science
teacher......."Oh sorry, but you don't have a room anymore."
This is so RIDICULOUS!! Well I ramble.
Basically, I agree with the message above. However, I would also say to
comply and do your best while you look for ANOTHER job. I wouldn't want to
work for people who have this attitude towards the arts in education.
