For the duty, we're going to try to hash something out at the staff meeting on Friday - basically, three adults outside, of which one must be a teacher and the other an EA. That should cut down on duty time for all concerned; currently all the EA's are out every break, and two teachers as well, making five people for two hundred kids. The usual ratio for yard supervision is one teacher for every hundred kids or so. We have more than double that. Since I'm not the only teacher to feel this is excessive, we should be able to do something about it.

The in-services are over for the moment, and I left school at 3:10 today. The baby is out with Aunty Krista, so life is quiet for about two hours now. I'm going to enjoy it. :)
