Yep, that’s what it says on my contract, there’s no stroke after teacher saying network engineer/pc technician, it just says teacher – that’s what I get paid to be.
It’s not that I don’t care that you can’t sign on to the new online attendance website, trust me, I feel for you, I think it’s atrocious that these problems weren’t ironed out before school started, but it’s not my friggin problem.
I will not spend another lunch hour trying to get computers connected.
I will not drop everything to see what’s the matter with the pc in the teachers room if you can’t notice a simple thing as the absence of a power light on the monitor – PLUG IT IN!
Yes I know you get a message every time you turn on the pc “error – conflicting ip addresses on the network” but I didn’t set the network up, the school employs a company for that, and I am not going to check all 40 pc’s in the building.
I didn’t mind helping out, I didn’t mind trying to get your laptop onto the wireless network – but don’t you think it’s a little cheeky to dump a laptop on my desk, STILL IN THE BOX in which it was delivered to you house?
It’s unfortunate your mom has a virus on her machine – but JHC, you rush into my classroom while I’m teaching to tell me this, then take up 15 minutes of my time grilling me as to what I think she should do?
Teachers spend a lot of their time bitching about how their students don’t read instructions – wouldn’t it be nice if you all followed your own advice and RTFM, then after you’ve done that, check out the geek squad website and see how much they charge for the shit that I’ve been doing for free the last two weeks – the next time you walk into my room, come in with a blank cheque.
