Oh yeah. I work. Part I
Went to my classroom today to tidy up before the kids return. Whatever happened to the paperless office? That's all there was: paper, in many forms. Books, handouts, scantrons, napkins from the Study-a-Thon. Paper everywhere. So, I filed and shelved and shuffled. Then I wrote lesson plans - on paper - and made copy requests - of paper, on paper. Maybe the whole educational system as we know it is set up to support the great paper conglomerates. I think I'm shaping the future, but I'm really just lining the well stuffed pockets of the powerful paper magnates. Turning innocent children into paper-hungry consumers who will wastefully continue the cycle.
Maybe I should stay home next week in protest. Demand real, paperless education. Rage against the paper- pushing machine behind the school system. Hmmm.
I write this less than one hour after working on a scrapbook. That's right, scrapbook. This paper thing is insidious.
