You've got 300 copies each month? That's acceptable. Each worksheet can only take up 1/2 page? That's overkill. Can you make any copies you need or is there a Copy Czar keeping you within certain limits all the time? <strong>H</strong>, that expectation you suggest at the end is exactly what worries me and it's prevalent. Running down to the local copy store is an option, but that needs to be the last straw, not the only one. Still, you're right: it's helped keep me calm when I'm in a pinch. I wonder if teachers can raise funds from local businesses to pay back copy expenses. Jackie, who told you to make it 1/2 page? You’ve got 300 copies each month? That’s acceptable.

Instead of changing a worksheet to stay within quotas, instead of standing in line by the copier Monday morning and risk it being jammed anyway, copying at my own expense has kept adrenaline levels at a comfortable level many a time. Of course, the bad thing is helping sustain an expectation that teachers just do that.

I just had a worksheet I redesigned (due to Dan's influence) that I was told to reduce to 1/2 a page - too much white space. That way I could copy two per page. ARGH!!!
