Hellobee Boards

I am a teacher, I lock my door, cover the window AND have a sign on it that says "if this door is locked and the window is covered I am busy and do not come in!!" I am so paranoid a kid will walk in while I'm pumping! I started wearing a nursing cover just in case!

I always lock my door just in case! The first week I was back my one coworker did knock and I just said, I'll be out in five minutes! Since then I think they have figure out that if the door is closed, I'm pumping!

I pump with my chair prepped up against the door. My door doesn't have a lock and someone walked in on me once...

I hate that! It scares the milk!

This thread makes me feel SO guilty about an incident a few years ago. I was teaching in a middle school and had to teach a mandatory after-school tutoring twice a week for kids who were struggling to get ready for the state test.

My principal wanted all the after school things to be confined to one hall, so I was assigned another teacher's room. I had 8th period as my planning period, so I would typically go to that teacher's room the last 15 minutes of the day, lay out the workbooks, write on the board, and generally prepare for after school. She also had planning period, so I wasn't interrupting her class.

Except one day it was locked (her door window was always covered, so I couldn't tell if anyone was inside). I knocked a few times and no one answered, so I went and got one of the V.P.'s to unlock her door (assuming she's had to leave early for some reason) and the VP and I BOTH walked in on her, facing us at the door, hooked up to her electric pumper.

I think we were ALL mortified. I felt awful! But I also wondered why she didn't have a sign or why she never told me she pumped before going home.

I didn't know her well at all, since she'd been out the first semester on Maternity leave, so I just felt like the worst person ever!

I still work in a school, so this is an issue I'll have to figure out for myself for next school year when I start back. I do have a back room in my library, but half the school has a key, so I'll have to have a sign or something.
