Karen - did you not read my response to Rudy? I am not bossy - We have staff meetings where they tell me if they need ANYTHING in the upcoming months that may vary from our regular supplies. I can get almost anything. But when it comes to the supply closet - which I leave unlocked in order to treat them like the adults they are - which is for everyone, it ticks me off to see someone with a huge amount of one thing and another teacher left with little to no things. New products are brought in every two weeks (at the least) and there is always enough. Yet, the teachers who have been with me the longest seem to think it is all theirs. They are reminded time and time again at our staff meetings that the closet is for everyone. One of my newer teachers said the last place she was at kept their closet locked. Every morning, they met the program director at the closet, got a day's supply and left. They then met back at the closet at the end of the day to retrun everything. That seems to me a good way to treat the adults as children with no self control. I don't want to ever wind up doing anything like that. And as far as room layout - I don't care where the block center or anything like that is, but if there is a danger, and my teacher does nothing about it even after I meet with him/her, then I will take matters into my own hands. After all, the program is liable.
