Buna , Like Everyplace Else, It's Not What You Know, It's Who You Know.....

"Time changes everything, except something within us, which is always surprised by change." 

- Thomas Hardy 

If you ever read any of Hardy's works, so much is based on unhappiness and suffering based on many societal items, including education, ......You know, sort of like today. 

And in truth, we should not be shocked by changed.....

In the last 48 hours, I have learned of the following concerning the Buna ISD and "new" alleged administrative change. 

It seems the " clique" is alive and well. 

The principal at Buna High it seems supposedly has been offered a new position at Region V. 

Ask the average teacher what the Region Service Centers do, and other than bore us to death in in-service meetings at the start of school, the only thing I can tell you that they do is collect big checks. 

I know there will be be people who disagree, but seriously, why should I listen to someone tell me about teaching who has not taught in an actual classroom in 20-25 years?  

The Buna Junior High Principal is proposed to be the new high school principal. 

Do a little research and follow who you know in all of this....

In the end, the school board will just " rubber stamp" the move......I had a Buna ISD patron write me and say this about the board...." As useless as tits on a boar hog."  

Meanwhile, some of the longtime Buna teachers, many of the best,  are interviewing with other districts. 

And I do not blame them for doing so....Sometimes, enough is enough....
