While doing my student teaching, I came to realize that there is A LOT of paperwork involved with education. I’m not just talking about the assignments that I give out and collect to grade. There are forms about allergies and medical concerns, modifications and educational needs, evaluations, forms, notices, and many other bits of information. That’s just in the classroom. Then to be considered for a job you have forms, certificates, applications, letters, sealed this, and notarized that. Makes your head hurt! I can only imagine what it’s like to be working in an office that keeps track of all these papers. Must be even crazier because one such office lost my certificate…which was sent in July…and just notified me. They have the other paper that was attached to it but the certificate wandered off somewhere. At least they caught it and were kind enough to notify me before I got my paycheck; it gives me a pay raise. I’m hand delivering this copy.
Ever have something like this happen to you?
