Librarians Escape Fate Worse Than Death

Librarians Escape Being Turned into Teachers in FL District

That’s the headline I just received in my inbox via the SLJ Extra Helping.

What?!

Man, I work my tail off so everyone in my building thinks of me as a teacher. What are they thinking with a headline like this? I’m sure my classroom teachers would just love it.

Here’s what they’re really talking about if you’re curious. Librarians being moved to classroom teaching positions, and school libraries loosing their librarians.  Why they couldn’t have written a better headline is beyond me.

    I agree, this is a terrible headline. If they would have only said “classroom teachers.”

    This is why, IMHO, that we need to change our job title to teacher-librarian like so many other civilized places have.

    Now for me, being made a PE teacher or asst. principal WOULD be a fate worse that death!

    All the best,

    No joke, Doug! Though I do often wonder who has more fun in school, me or the art teacher. Art teacher - now that is a cool job.
