4. Could not have said it better.

We're in the 5th week of school here. During the 3rd week, the department head came to me and said that we had a huge enrollment of sophomores, and we needed to close three of my senior sections of economics and government and open three sections of sophomore world history. I said okay.

The three sections of senior disappeared that day.

I now have two sections of sophomores with another class of two students, still awaiting the rest of the class. Report cards are issued this Friday. I was told today that the rest of my section will arrive Thursday, but be sure to have enough work to evaluate the 6 weeks to give them a grade on Friday for their report card.

Yep, stuff like this is what gives you the headache. Not the students, the admin.
