Okay...so I was in class and we were talking about how schools should approach helping the homeless. We (my classmates and I) had talked about how some children live in cars, shelters etc. Although, its a very sad and depressing topic, answer the following questions about schools helping or not helping the homeless. Take your time and really think deeply about how you'll answer each question:

1. If a teacher finds out that there is a homeless child in their classroom, what actions do you think the teacher should take...if any at all?

2. Should a teacher consult the principal of the school in a private conference explaining what he/she has just lear regularned? Would that scare the child's family away?

3. When resources are offered to a child's family through a school, why do you personally think that so many families turn down the hands rHoweaching out towards them?

4. Do you think there should be schools specifically designed for children who are homeless?

5. Do you think that schools should have a washing machine and a dryer for staff to use (with parents permission) to wash children's clothing that become soiled or dirty? Not necessarily just for the children who are homeless, but for maybe the child who had an accident at school or even for families who cannot afford to have their clothing washed on a regular basis...?

6. Besides a washing machine and dryer available to the school staff to use, what are some other possible offers that schools could provide to children's families who are poor and/or homeless?

7. Are there any questions that I had missed that you think should've been added? Put them as number seven.

8. Do you know of any resources in your area that help the homeless? If so, put them as number 8. Please include the area that the resource is offered and the phone number so that

To make today more cheery....why not look at some of these yellow photos to help brighten your day.

 First we start off with this giant box of yellow.

 I think these yellow flowers could be a touch brighter but still they are yellow.

 A nice yellow car surrounded by yellow sunflowers up in the snow and ice of the mountains? Kinda crazy right?

 A yellow sneaker...I saw one of these (or similar to this shoe at least) bright yellow while shopping at the mall today.

 A nice yellow hisbiscus flower in full bloom. Almost looks like a painting.

 Yellow clouds right before a thunderstorm is what this photo is called. Tutt tutt...looks like rain.

 Could this be yellow play-doh laid out flat on a white paper plate? Or could this be yellow tempra paint laid out flat on a white china plate?

 Yellow umbrella ella ella ellas...sorry. I didn't realy want you to look at my umbrella ella ella hey hey hey...lolz. I just couldn't resist!

 A nice yellow elephant at the zoo. Perhaps he was galloping through the fields and became yellow after having the pollen from all the flowers in the field rub upon his gray wrinkled skin.

  Its Mr. Yellow M&M...isn't he supposed to not be plugged into the wall so that I don't have the urge to eat yellow m&ms late at night. Do I really have to stare at this guy while I fall asleep? How does that help me not to have the munchies?

I work at Mcdonalds and I have an issue with my manager. I haven't told her yet because I don't want to seem like the little girl worker who is being a baby b/c she didn't get a raise.

 My McDonalds manager recently gave me a Crew Review and during the Crew Review she had graded me as a Needs Improvement Rating b/c I had gotten "too many refunds on the register." What she didn't think about when doing my review is that we had/have:

a) just gotten new registers during the time that the review was based upon and they need some getting used to. Its not like we were going to be able to learn them really quick since it was a different layout of the menu and since alot of people didn't have the e-learning training on the computer in the crew room.

b) Customers who will say their order, then I'll read it back and they still say its right. They pay for it. Then I'll print out the receipt and I'll lay it on the counter. They'll pick it up and look at it and ask something along the lines of: "Why is this double cheese on my reciept...I wanted a cheeseburger! Not a double cheese!" It's like...I just read your order back to you and you said that it was right. Listen to my words and if you didn't understand what I had said why did you agree to what I had read and why did you pay for your order? Its annoying but I'll be thankful when June comes:)

c) Mistakes do happen. I'm sorry I'm not perfect like she is. Although, I do show up with a clean uniform with all the parts to it. I show up on time and I come in whenever needed. I do not call off and if I do its rare. I don't cuss, get disorderly or show my frustration at work when things don't go my way. I've stayed later when they have needed me to stay later...even on Sundays when my family has a family dinner. I have stayed at McDonalds to miss my Sunday family dinner to help them out.

And... she still gave me a Needs Improvement. I had like 3 things checked for Needs Improvement and the rest were all checkmarks with satisfactory. I have been working there for 4 years and there are kids newer than me that had gotten a good rating plus a raise. I recieved no raise and a Needs Improvement. Whats with that?!

Can someone please tell me why 3 checkmarks constitutes for an Needs Improvement and no raise? Especially, with all the extra stuff I do for them?
