Apparently my AP is concerned about safety issues but my class is not the only one using pins. Tech uses them also. AP says he found 2 in the hallway -- among the 375 students in 8th grade who wouldn't even take the time to pick up a pencil if they needed something to write with -- do you think they're going to bother to pick up a pin or two? So I had to bite my tongue while I was thinking, "do you want me to pick up pins or do you want me to teach?" -- and that was after they increased my work load by an additional 50 students per quarter due to a retirement in my department!!!
