First, I'll confess, I "abhor" snow.  As another teacher put it for me.  We've had snow three times too many in Dallas this year.  So I wasn't a happy camper when I got up.  Plus my knee was aching.<\/p>\n

Kids were very wound up, can't blame them, pointed them in the right direction and as long as they weren't driving each other nuts was cool with it.<\/p>\n

We had several short blackouts through out the day and around noon I saw the principal running around the building making sure we had portable lights in appropriate places.  Suggested my small emergency flashlights and even sent him a link, I have several and I need to put mine back in my classroom.<\/p>\n

Fire alarms went off after lunch, and the kids can't understand why I want let them wander the halls while that is going on ….<\/p>\n

We got everyone fed and got through most of the day, and the power finally did go out sometime around 3:00 pm.  Considering some of our neighbor schools were with out power from our first blackout we were doing good.<\/p>\n

Sadly we had to cancel the pep rally and since I didn't have a class, I took over the upstairs hall and sent everyone down that came up and kept everyone upstairs in their classrooms.  And even took one girl to the restroom for  break.<\/p>\n

Now I wish that our other teachers understood that the reason that we're supposed to lock down during a power failure is to protect safety of students.<\/p>\n

And I wish other people who didn't have classes took equal responsibility.<\/p>\n

Hopefully the local news won't find this but if they do — don't bother principals when they already have their hands full.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
