I Received More Mail than Normal on the Buna Schools!!!

 Generally I get " Jumped on" by an apologist for the district. Apologist does not necessarily mean supporting the religious tradition they follow.....Comes from the Greek, apologia( supporting speech). Thus, the association with religion. 

But not this time. It was surprisingly quiet.  

I often wonder if my blogs are doing " any good" but sometimes, something you have written surprises even yourself. 

 Perhaps this message I receive described it the best....This from a long time employee who held several positions within the district. And this is from a person who knows. 

" The longer I am retired from the Buna Independent School District, the more I realize just how messed up it was and still is..... "

Then, there were those who are a growing voice concerning the district. 

" I thought the new school board would be better, but I am disappointed."  

" I am thinking about running....But I happened(spelling) got a dog's chance."  ( Run, you never know)

And they are not alone. People are disappointed with the board...As one put it....

" They've become just another politician." " Afraid to make waves."

Then, there was this.....

" I got no hope" ( In the school board.)

Then there were letters concerning bullying.....

" I am so glad my kids are now in LCM." " I don't understand what is going on concerning them ( Buna) it is like they do it for us to leave. " 

And there were those like these....

" The Taucer, Tady( Tandy), and you are gone. There are so many teachers who are there for the 20th only." ( The 20th is payday each month in the Buna ISD. It is earlier if you direct deposit, paper cheques are on the 20th.) 

" Like you have said, just what the fuck do some of these people do?" ( I think I said " cornbread feck.")

" I hope the clique is happy with what they got." 

Then, I received more of these than any other....

" We stay silent. We are afraid for our children." 

Finally this.... 

" Did you hear about the cat?"

Yes, and I am upset about this one. I may write a blog on this one..... Is there a video? I keep hearing rumors, if so, send it to me. Surely the story isn't true.....

Again, if I was unhappy, I would homeschool, figure out a way to move. And if you are looking to move back, my question is " Why?" There are really good districts in the area that are close to grandma and grandpa's. Look, some of the best and brightest teachers are leaving for better districts and it isn't just the money other districts are paying.
