Buna ISD....On The News........

 

So, last evening KBMT12 had the runaway from school incident on the news. It's on their website this morning. 

Gen Z and Gen Alpha kids are a different group of kids than I or anyone older has taught. 

Raised on the internet, they just are, and the thing is, they are going to get worse, they just are. 

Education, and this is a prediction, is going to change dramatically in the next few years. 

I know to a certain extent it has not reached the East Texas region totally yet. But it will. 

Already the kids are using the 6-7 phrase and to be honest, I do not think most of them even know what it means. 

Apparently it came from a hip-hop artist by the name  Skrilla. Yeah, not a clue either, and don't really care. I've seen some of you wonder on Facebook what it means?

And apparently it means several different things.  

Not to be confused with the term " All sixes and sevens." A British term meaning a state of confusion.  

But I digress. 

Good, bad, whatever, the world is changing. As I have said for years now, I could not teach today, my style, my personality, I could not do it today....

And often, I wonder to myself, " Should Buna ISD be given some grace in the way things are now?"  But the trouble is, they have to change with the world, and I wonder if they are changing for the good, or are trying to keep things so old fashion and sometimes we will be left behind???

But I keep seeing the district making missteps, and say to myself, "What in the Hell are they doing up there?"  

Oh man, this retirement is the best job ever......
