In which Jess talks about things she rarely cares about

So, as it is mid/late August and I work at ye local ginormous supermarket, we are selling shit-tons of school supplies. I try to make idle chit chat with the parents shelling out an excess of a hundred dollars per child to send them off to the wide learning yonder. Sometimes, we talk about the nifty things that they make now that never existed when

Whoa ... that's huge. And yet they think laptops are the answer.

You know something, we have that programme here, or we did have, it might be something that's been shelved. But my BILs school was one of the first to dole out laptops.

And guess what?

They were 'lost'.

Jess, if you can help mentor someone or listen to kids read, or go through maths with some kids, then do it. They'll bite your hands off. It can be bloody infuriating, but it's also rewarding. If you don;t want to work with kids, then maybe you vould look at admin at aschool. Admit staff tend to be let go first, in my experience.
