Okay Buna Schools...I've Been Nice...

 So, for several weeks, I've been nice to Buna ISD. 

And in truth, other than the search for a new Supt. Of Schools, and we are in the Christmas - Thanksgiving  Holiday season... And right now, we are down to less than two weeks, including the Friday short days left before the Christmas break. 

And the teachers are trying to hang on. Everyone is wanting Santa to come on. Right now trying to get kids to work is a battle. And with the Gen Alpha kids, I can't imagine what it is like in the classroom....( Have you seen the video of the little girl in Walmart, a Gen  Alpha just tearing stuff up? Throwing glass bottles of grape juice on the floor busting them to pieces? I know several podcasters have discussed the tape. )

People were afraid to stop her. And in this day afraid of lawsuits, police arresting them, etc. Who can blame them? 

And I understand it is very difficult to find people wanting, or even, wanting to give it a shot in the classroom. Thus the " District of Innovation." 

Trouble is, people will get hired by a school district and never even try to get a certificate. And if they do, why stay in poor paying Buna Public Schools? 

Then, there are the group of teachers who spend years take the exam over and over. 

There are people with actual certificates, who would love to teach in Buna, But politics gets involved, and those who can't pass the test to get their teacher's certificate are kept, or hired over a person with all types of qualifications. 

Again, it is why so many people do not stay. So many people who " know people" are treated so much better than other people who are also Buna natives, that " know people" because no one else will take them.

I seriously wonder why I stayed? It certainly wasn't for the pay. 

I wonder who the next Supt of Schools will be? I wonder how long before the editors of this site will have a " field day" questioning their leadership? 

Just things to consider before the break
