she should blog

The stories she comes home with. Oh my.
Diane really ought to blog. Or at least comment in area blogs.
She has first hand knowledge of the ridiculous, asinine, and inspiring things that happen with the local school district. So while others voice their opinions and rumors, she actually is seeing it happen. For example school uniforms. Her school already has uniforms. If a kid shows up not in the proper attire, it's ignored. The uniforms "the district" provides to families who can't afford it (despite owning a PSP, 50" tv, XBOX360, new car,...) are laundered by the teachers in the teacher's homes. It is required of the teacher.
And then there's all the stuff that nobody hears about. Which I think somebody really needs to know. For example the kids in her part of the school do not eat lunch in the lunch room. They get whatever the cafeteria feels like boxing up at 10:30. Then one of the teachers or aides has to go get it. Rarely do the kids get something beyond warm in temperature and sometimes it could be a stretch to call it a balanced meal. The city jail provides a better meal at it's worst.
Everyday it's something that becomes a 30 to 40 minute conversation at least. Seem like enough to be worth writing about. Certainly has more to write about than I do.
