You Can’t Unsee It, and Other Fine Messes
ou can’t unsee it. What is “it” you ask? Well, it is really anything, but let me give you some examples…
You can’t unsee a hallway with 7 students roaming it after the bell rings…they are all late. You also can’t unsee the fact that before the bell rang, there was only one adult monitoring the hallway, and that was the (barely 21 year-old) student teacher. You really can’t unsee secretaries being rude to parents. You also can’t unsee a dress code violation, or a smack in the back of the head, or your most accomplished, veteran teacher walking in 20 minutes late for the third time that week…
As a side note, you can’t really unhear anything either (I don’t want to be unfair to ears), so that profanity coming out of the Middle School Principal’s son is a thing.
