Everyone deserves to have a bad or crabby day, especially the day after conferences.  However, I felt that one of my team members got what they deserved.  Here is how it happened...

I am in charge of after school bus duty.  I have to take my kids out about 5 minutes early to be in charge.  We have a 5th grade team that is always the last ones out.  They have rowdy kids and have to settle them down. I don't usually mind because when 5th grade comes out I KNOW everyone else is out and I can send the buses on their way.

However, yesterday, my team member decided that she was really tired of always having to wait for 5th grade to come out to the buses with their kids and she chewed them a new one.  I mean she really went off on them.  They were humbled.

Today, she didn't show up for bus duty.  The 5th graders were on the buses right behind Kinder (who goes on first) and then the rest of the kids.  I checked the halls, they were empty so I sent the buses off.  The first bus was gone and the second was making kids sit down (again) and out of the doors come her kids.  They wouldn't settle down so she held them in class.  Well, We had to call bus #1 back but you can imagine the laughter over this.  She was really ticked off.  I just calmly told her that next time, she would have to call all the parents to come pick up her students because she caused them to miss the bus.  Boy, was she not happy.  She reminded me that 5th grade never came out before 2:35.  I said that because of her, 5th grade came out with Kinder and we didn't know she still had her kids in the class.

What a mess.
