I thought it was very interesting to hear what other people who teach in the public schools talked about their policies. At our school, the policy handbook goes together with the staff handbook. It is only about 100 pages. It is online this year, but we had to sign a paper at the beginning stating that we read them. I wonder how many actually read the handbook.
I think that it is important to follow what the policies say. However, it seems like everyone can have different interpretations on the same policy. Policies need to be very concrete and precise, if they are to be followed.
It is important to follow the rules, but then human are the ones who make rules, so there are always something that will not be black or white.
