Lock and loadem

Three links this morning that fall under the category
I'VE HAD ENOUGH AND ....

1) Darren, a teacher in California, says:

We have a librarian at my school only 2-1/2 days a week, as she must split her time between 2 high schools. When she’s not there, parent volunteers staff the library so that it’s available to students.

3. Same answer as #2.
