13. I'm stuck.

I've seen teachers who sit behind their desks and text and do email in class, class after class. For those teachers, their "growth plan" basically said, "Put away the phone and don't sit down." All the other points were footnotes.

I've seen teachers whose desks were seldom inhabited because they were out and about, fielding questions, tutoring, doing small group instruction. If they used their desk, it's to take attendance, stack materials on for distribution, and work at before or after school.

This principal's a bit loony.

(My desk is built into my lab demonstration bench. I hate it.)
