Back to School at Buna ?????

 Well sort of.....

I need to call my nephew now in Ft. Stockton to see how just got-dang awful the first in service day was out there in Ft. Stockton ISD. And to see what high school English classes he'll be teaching. I am sure because it is his first year it'll be Fishmen, or Suckmores.....I doubt they give him Seniors. 

I worry today about people going into teaching. 

They'll always have some sort of teacher, in the classroom, even with AI, unless they have some sort of " Death Robot" take over in the future, which in truth, wouldn't shock me.  

I wonder in the future if anyone with any sense will do the job, or if AI takes over so many jobs, well, I am afraid teaching will be an act of desperation...And it'll put people in the classrooms that have no business there. 

Teachers, you are going into what used to be a noble profession, but in today's world of social media, well, it's not that great.Somewhat as the 19th Century British literature would call it, " Genteel Poverty".....I know today, well, I could not do it. Kids, parents, society has changed in the last 15 years so dadgum much. 

Folks, do the best job you can, if you're in it for the long term, I seriously believe you may have been foreordained to be there. I certainly believe I was foreordained to be in Buna High. As I have said for years, I didn't apply in Buna and to my shock, was called to interview for the gov/eco position over 30 years ago now.  

YouTube in the last 2 weeks has been full of teachers ( Females lately seem to think nothing will happen to them) having sex with their students. Most of them as I said, female, having sex with kids 13-14-15......And they're grown-ass people many 25 to 45 years of age. 

Look, you have sex with your kids, you're going to mess up your life forever. Jail, public humiliation in the press or/and social media, divorced, lose your profession, probably never get a decent job the rest of your life. 

Yet, people do it every year, like they're not going to get caught......You're dealing with teenagers, they are telling everyone who they are " doing."  

I hope you have a good year, I really do. Remember you are there for the kids, but also remember this is a job and well, sometimes, if it starts to effect your health, you need to get out.  

( I need to write an economics blog. It's looking bad, and I'm concerned. Lack of demand, simple microeconomics.....)
