laminating By Julianne

Our district has a central media center where teachers can laminate for a nominal fee, either charged to their supply budget or paid with their own money. I use this service occasionally for items purchased with my own money that I intend to take with me when I move to another school. It costs a bit more, but no one has any right to get annoyed at me.

I admire you for your diligence and agree with you that the things you're making are meant to be touched. So keep it up, but do be careful to be considerate of your colleagues. Next time someone says something negative try asking, "Oh, do you need to laminate something? I can finish this later..." You can pretty much bet the person whining will decline your offer. But it could stop them from saying things.
