"District knows best"

As you may or may not know, children in special education tend to have paper trails a mile long. In an effort to organize and consolidate their files, our school district had the fantastic idea of making every special education teacher dig through their students' cumulative files to reclassify and reorganize documents, as well as to shred all duplicate documents (or triplicates or septicates, etc). Sounds like a great idea in theory, but I spent two hours going through one student's files this afternoon. Okay, so times nine would be EIGHTEEN HOURS spent knee-deep in paperwork. Yuck.
