Work

Ok, so i'm determined to make it to 100 post...even though techincally, i should have made it...but for those posts i deleted after i found out "they" found my blog....ol...well, now i can laugh about it, then it was embarassing...

I work in a pre through elementary school...it's private, it's Montessori and it's expensive...infact extremely expensive if you think about the current state of the economy. Anyway, it's a known fact and most of staff members here constantly joke about the fact that all the parents are under the largest income brackets and yet we staff members are poor people....

You see, there is a certain amount of money that private schools are entitled to every year from the state. One of the things i do is making sure the school gets its fair share of the money...of-course we have to prove that we need the funds... In doing this, one of the forms we get from board of education is a survey that has to be sent out to all our parents and a part of it is to indicate their annual gross income:

18,130 or below
18,131 - 24,419
24,420 - 30, 709
30, 710-36,999
37,000-43-289
43,290-49,579
49,580-55,869
55,870-62,159
62,160-68,449
68,450-74,739
74,740-81,029
81,030 and above

Honestly, almost all of our parents fall under the very last bracket...of-course we get the few who are under state vouchers/subsidies so we capitalize on those ones....neverless, we never get good share as long as i'm concerned, all we get is the change left....

Anyway, we're currently enrolling for the new school year and today we had a few potential parents come in....Amongst them was a Medical Dr, another that is a Director at the state department of agriculture, and another that works for the FBI.

The current joke now is that we're all in trouble...we have a bit of diversity here and many times we joke and say americans are not into Montessori , hence we foreigners...(espeically the indians and the phillipinos)a lady here now mentions that she hopes all out papers are in order because the FBI lady is going to go run all our records up...maybe we all do need to go check ourselves out....lol...
