During Parent conferences there is no school for an entire week. Lunchroom and playground supervision is done by Parent volunteers because the teachers have it in their contracts that they done to have to do. This sort of thing. Parents Are asked to Volunteer to be Dass a spelling Momy or a Smath dad Quot and Correct the papers for those classes. If you divided teachers annual salaries by the number of hours they actually work they Are making More than $30 an hour. Not bad a with three months vacation.

Newlyweds usually prefer to sit together the important Factor in the seating arrangement is that everybody be pleased and comfortable. Couples who have a Long Friendship might prefer �?oi-on-1�?� conversation with the spouse of the same sex. My personal Rule of thumb when in doubt sit with your own mate.
