cedar_groveIt's only a mini-rant because I haven't go the energy for a maxi-rant!
Just before the half term vacation, the lamp on my projector for the interactive whiteboard in my classroom blew out - admittedly after five years, but it blew out all the same. So... I was sans whiteboard. Bulb ordered, should be done by the time I get back from half term.
WRONG! Technician in Tuesday after half term, "You know my bulb?" I says to him. "It wasn't ordered until yesterday," says he. Great... so... not like usual (I'm usually the patient kind, but not being able to deliver, "Quality First Teaching," (QFT) is starting to get to me around now), I pull strings. I go to the Head and make a fuss. He 'finds' one (I don't ask where from), and the technician says he'll install it after school.
Wednesday - No projector. They couldn't find the damn key to get into the secure housing for the thing. No problem, the custodian/premises officer will get some bolt cutters and cut the padlock off.
Thursday - Custodian actually found the key. Yay! Um.. no. WRONG DAMN BULB! (and these are the ones that were ordered by this stage).
That was a week ago. Now I'm still not able to deliver QFT, and what do we have now? The threat of Ofsted (infection) hanging over us.
Not happy. All I want is my projector to work so that I can teach properly... please?
