My state mandated that every teacher every day in every subject had to spend time on discussions about student health. The mandate held out a carrot in the form of extra money to the school for every 5 minutes of discussion in a classroom. I was selected as one of 20 teachers in our JHS who would be monitored for compliance. I received a timesheet that I had to fill out every day and give to the office manager. The first day I entered 0 in the time slot. She said, “You can’t enter a zero.” I said I had no time during the rehearsal to talk about health issues. She asked, “How long did it take to fill out the form?” I said long enough to write 0 and sign it. She said that would count as a five minute increment. And so it went.
