Negativity....At Buna Schools?

 So, you must have been reading the blog.....

Good.

Look, I can say stuff other people can't. Either won't because of their kids, or they have to live in the community, or as one person told me, " I got to sit by these people in church." 

You can't keep a Supt. of Schools more than 2 years and 9 months on average. They can't even hardly find a place to buy groceries and they are gone......Why?  The board is picking them. 

Then, there is a pretty big teacher turn-over.........Why? 

Why not positivity? Heck, the reality is the place has troubles. 

If it was all 'peaches and cream' there would be faculty applications, so many, you wouldn't have to hire non-certified teachers, no matter the subject.

You have people in the community thinking about homeschooling their children simply due to the new math curriculum. And don't tell me kids are not having troubles.  The program wants teachers to step back and facilitate and let the students find the answers.( Who came up with this nonsense?) 

But bitchin' because there is nothing but negativity? 

It's the school business. It's a hard business, always has been, always will be, it is never 'peaches and cream' it's just the nature of the beast. 

You want to see how bad it is? Sub for a few weeks, or get a job teaching, it's one problem from the moment you walk in the door until you walk out the doors.....You think it was 'fun' being Mr. Thomas? If it was, I'd lasted longer. 

And there are positive times, but they are often overshadowed by 5 negative events.....Again, it's just the ' nature of the beast.' 

But wanting positive? And only positive? 

This is the wrong business to be looking for it in.....
