Just make a right, follow the hallway, and kidnap a child

My school has two students currently in a parental fight for custody. One parent actually managed to "kidnap" the child over the summer. The staff knows what's up with these children, and are cautious of who is visiting on our floor (which also houses 2 other schools).

SO WHY ARE THERE NO VISITOR'S PASSES OR LAPEL STICKERS FOR OUTSIDERS TO CARRY.

I found one man in a classroom looking at the bulletin boards. With the door closed. When I asked him where he was intending to go, he mentioned another school on our campus. So I escorted his ass right out of the room and dropped him off with the other school's secretary.

I'm at the point of wanting visitors to wear sandwich-board signs. Tomorrow, this has to be dealt with. I love my school officers (really, they are really kind people) , but this crap has got to end.

On a totally unrelated note, Project Runway starts tonight! Brain candy!

I LOVE that show. It's the only thing that makes me want to get cable. So far, I have not given in... a friend has promised to tape for me.

It's remarkable that your administration can't be bothered with stickers. Our chapter recommended them and in a rare moment of total agreement, the administration had them printed and in use the following week.

They're not perfect, but they help.
