Surely Not Buna.....

 So, I am minding my own bidness and for some reason, I decided to check the Buna ISD 25/26 Calendar....

Holy Classroom Batman.....

School for new teachers start tomorrow....All the rest of the faculty starts this Friday, August 1st.....So much of this having August off as teachers..... 

At my age, fixing to be 68, I literally could not do it.  

And while Friday is a workday for teachers, and I know it'd take me about 45 minutes to get ready, next week, all damn week, ALL damn week in in-service. Generally some "expert" from a Region Service Center, who has not taught in 25 years telling you some new way to teach....

I'd rather you hit me in the shin with a hammer.  

As a veteran teacher, I can see me sneaking off for a 45 minute bathroom break. 

And starting this week, I will be retired 15 years from the Buna Public Schools. It doesn't seem that long. And as I have said, the world, and kids have changed so much, I literally no longer could do it. Nor, do I want to...

I may in the coming days write a blog addressed to teachers, both vets and newbies.  

It seems like graduation was just about a week ago..... Man, that was a quick summer. 

Kids start back August 13th......
