This Week in Buna Schools.....

 It is Spring Break in Buna ISD....I don't know, this week long break, well, I just did not really get all excited about. Yes, I was happy to be out of school, yes, I generally took a small road trip, but Spring Break was always like, " Why are we stopping going to school now? If we just kept going, we could be out of school sometime in the middle of May for Summer. 

Spring semesters always were horrible to me. Always something going on, damn UIL Academics, the damn prom, the damn state exams, the damn graduation ceremony.  Something going on in which there is the possibility of someone knowing better and screwing up, and it come back on the Govteach.. 

I am still amazed at the number of people who have ties to Buna that are doing everything they can to get their children out of Buna ISD.  We are often talking about people whose families have been in the Buna community for decades, literally generations. Heck, even school board member's kids are moving their kids out, mostly to Evadale.  Who knew Evadale ISD would be so attractive? 

Then, I've been asked about why there appears to be two new administrators at the elementary school for calendar year 26-27.  Including one supposedly becoming a literary specialist within the district. ( Hell, I need me one of those jobs, make me an English Literature specialist.....I'll stand in the hall and quote  Shakespeare, Tennyson, , the Bronte Sisters,  Lewis Carroll, Charles Dickens, by memory. In truth, if I am at school, I want to be in the classroom, with kids, it is why I went into the business. )

We also have people who are looking at new churches, or just stop attending services altogether. The ties between the school and church has just turned them off. Plus, there are people who have stopped going because of the tithe. 

I know in the past of high school teachers who stopped going to Buna churches for several reasons, including politics, and the fact some parents wanting to hold " parent conferences" with their kid's teachers either before, or during, or after Sunday School, or even in the parking lot after church.  I know that some of the teachers literally left the county to attend church either in Silsbee or down towards Little Cypress.Many just stopped going altogether.  

Okay, I hope I made at least one reader happy with this style of writing. They hate when I just write one sentence and then write one more in a what they call paragraphs. And this person ain't an English teacher.....The trouble is, when I write paragraph, I start looking for where I can put a footnote. History graduate and theological graduate schools make you want to be all academic sometimes. ....I probably will go back to my old style in the next blog....
