The Changing Times in the Kindergarten...!

A lot is happening in the school these days - and everything is positive, progressive and organised thanks to As's resignation / retirement/ termination (or whatever you can call it) from the school.

To begin with Stf the boss is more often at school and herself decides important issues without any misleading middleman.

Our small but important activities are getting organised every minute now; we need to fill in our daily working hours everyday in a form and submit it at the end of the month. Similarly we also have a leave form now in which we can enter the details of our leaves taken. We are now provided enough weekly plan sheets during every meeting to prevent us from begging from someone who happens to have extra sheets and then wait endlessly to photocopy it before we can use it - something which was natural during As's times! The parents' contracts have been newly framed making some important changes and we all have been given its copy so that we know the parents and children of our school better.
A complete doctor's check up of the student just before his admission which will also mention his height and weight etc apart from other things has been made mandatory. Earlier  only a doctor's okay certificate was required. All accidents happening on the school premises will be recorded duly. We used to write daily diaries of the children mentioning what we did with the children today but there was a stupid rule that we could not give the diary to parents and so the parents never got to see the diary while we kept on writing painstakingly. We had protested many times to As to either let the parents have the diary so that they know what is being done in class or to stop the diary altogether but she never listened. Now this daily diary writing has been discontinued.

Our team meetings have become more meaningful, organised and focussed as opposed to earlier when meetings meant only eating, laughing and gossiping like a pack of housewives and any new idea given by any of us was only to be ridiculed and rebuffed furiously. Now we follow a proper meeting agenda along with minutes of meeting which is so useful.

Even the clock at the entrance is working now which was stuck at 10.20 since at least 9 months..!
It is Spring time! Winter is gone from our kindergarten...!!!
