the worst thing about teaching is probably all the paper

scholastic orders
homework to grade
forms to fill out
copies

i swear it never ends. i'm trying to reduce the paper explosion that is my classroom, even though the principal is convinced that it is super neat. hell, several people at school think it is very neat. have they looked??? i mean, seriously. why would my principal not believe that my apartment has piles in it, seeing as my "classroom is so spotless."
