bitter flashbacks of bureaocracy

THIS is why I am so deliriously happy to be out of the shithole district we call LAUSD. I used to get new students with only thirty seconds of warning. My first year teaching, it happened TEN TIMES. Two of the times were students who didn't speak a word of English. I secured parent agreements to retain two students who were seriously not up to par and the school office passed them on. They claimed the parents hadn't agreed but it was pure baloney.
