I just left an elementary school this year and switched to a high school because I felt I too was getting older (57) and that it was too demanding. Well,...I feel much better with the bigger kids. I...

Thanks for all the comments, I actually thought the Nurse Sup had some responsibility in it but I guess the campus boss needs to say something. I guess times have changed with who is delegated for...
Do any of you get a REAL Lunch Break? I work at a 600 plus Elementary School and it is constantly busy. I have no set lunch and the office staff does not seem to care if I eat at my desk or not....
