The one thing I absolutely hate about being an assistant is the fact that I have carpool duty in the morning, everyday, rain or shine! If I knew I would have to be out in the bitter cold, opening up car doors and ushering children inside, I honestly would have thought twice about doing my internship at the site where I’m at now. That’s how much it really sucks.
I wanted to share some of my thoughts with you all. If you ever had to do carpool duty in a Montessori school, Traditional School, or any other type of school, I’m sure you can relate!
It really urks me when…..
… it’s 10 degrees below zero and snowing outside, and I open up the cardoor, only to find little Jimmy or Susie, still eating their breakfast, shoes on the floor, gloves and scarf underneath the seat and their back packs opened with junk ready to pour out! Meanwhile, the line of cars just gets bigger and bigger.
… the neighbor across the street (who moved AFTER the school was established) stands outside their house and mean mugs everyone that goes by. Some go as far as taking pictures. Most of these people are retired old hags who have nothing else better to do than complain.
…administration decides to “butt” in and help out. All they’re really doing is just making the situation worse. It doesn’t help me when I have the head of school down my back telling me to “hurry up”. How the hell can I hurry up? It’s raining cats and dogs!Sorry, next time I’ll pray to the weather Gods and ask them to refrain from raining between the hours of 8:30am-8:45am. Ahh! There’s only so much I can do!
…I open the door, only to be greeted by a screaming child. And when I look at the mother, all she can do is just give me a pathetic smile, and wait for me to attempt to pry her child out of the car seat while he’s yelling bloody murder! Come on parents! It’s time for you guys to get a grip on your kids!
…the first ten cars that I open only have one child that comes out. H-E-L-L-O people! According to dictionary.com, the definition of CARPOOL is an arrangement among a group of automobile owners by which each owner in turn drives the others or their children to and from a designated place. Operative word, “CHILDREN”, as in more than one child!
…I open the car door and greet the child “Good Morning”, and the little monster just hops on out without even acknowledging my presence and runs off. And all this time, the mother (or father, or in most cases nanny) just looks straight ahead and pretends not to notice.
