Last year I used to work a C6 assignment in the ESL office. When Spanish-speakers came in to enroll, I translated for them. But this year I've been assigned to a much more vital activity--hall patrol.
Yesterday was particularly challenging. A kid walked by. I asked him if he had a pass. He did.
Another kid walked by. He didn't have a pass, but was headed to lunch. Several more kids walked by, heading for lunch.
In a crucial moment, a few kids walked by, claiming to be on the way to lunch. But my eagle eye detected they were headed away from the cafeteria! I checked their programs, and set them straight. Or made them walk the other way, at least.
Thankfully, I'm no longer frittering my time away helping newcomers, let alone writing lesson plans or correcting essays.
