Speaking of schools, I got a glimpse of what a bizzarro world public schools really are. My son is in City youth symphony. They were having a concert Sunday and he left his music in his school locker. Called his band teacher. Nope, he could not get into the building. Suggested calling the Principal. Principal was sympathetic but nope, she could not get into the building. Now I could understand if she had told him that it was his responsibility to keep his music with him and that he would have to bear the consequences of his carelessness. But that is not what she told him. She said she could not enter the building unless an "Engineer" (janitor?) is present and it would be prohibatively expensive to call one out on a weekend. So the chief executive of this institution cannot enter her building except at prescribed hours. This is so alien to me. Everywhere I ever worked, even as a common worker bee, I've been given a key and was actually ENCOURAGED to go and work on weekends.
