Buna Patrons.....It Could Be Worse?

 I am going to ask a hard question in an upcoming blog. If I lived within the district, I would have already started the process for you, just to see how serious you are about, well the school district. 

I went through the process when I was a fairly new teacher at Magnolia ISD years ago, and might be able to guide you in getting started in the process........

If you are man/woman enough to get involved.  

But I tease a future blog.....

No, I look at the mess at Hamshire-Fannett ISD......And local media is not even covering it. 

Which goes to show just what our local media amounts to.  

As you may know, the Supt. of Schools allegedly had an affair with the Asst. Supt. of Schools.....They both are no longer with the district is my understanding. 

One of the rumors is that many of their " trysts." ( I kept trying to spell it "trists" the old British spelling and spell-check was throwing a fit.)

Anyway, rumor is they were meeting up in classrooms to play " slap and tickle." 

That is nothing new, when I taught at Dayton a Coach and a ELA teacher were having their " fun and games" in the science department, and " knocking it outta the park" on top of the science lab tables.  

I can just about see the fit Mr. Taucer would have thrown. I would have had to help him get the tables into the backyard, pour 5 gallons of coal-oil on them and burning them. ( Coal-oil for you uneducated, is the old East Texas term for kerosene, even though they are different products, very similar.)  

Of course Dayton ISD had them both "resign" their teaching positions.  

On a different note/story, I am remind when I was talking with a couple of other teachers, including a lady math teacher, Charlene Chumley, only girl with 6 brother, if a fight breaks out, she was in the middle help breaking it up....Tiny woman, taught plane geometry. As she said, I had 6 brothers always fighting, "I always wound up breaking it up. " 

It was her, a brand new English teacher who weighed about 90lbs., Tommy Mayhood PhD from Baylor, history teacher, Laird Engel, the St. Paul's Lutheran minister, teaching chemistry part time.( Laird had a chemistry degree from A&M, and they got him to teach 2 classes a day)  

Anyway, Mrs. Pinter who was the head janitor at the school came down and said, " There is something odd going on in the janitor closet we never use down in the Junior Wing." 

We all walk down and normally locked, the door was just a little ajar and from the room was coming , " the " sounds of bliss" coming from it. 

Laird opened the door, and we all looked-in.

3 boys and 1 girl......

In what looked like " an octopus out of control."  

The girl had invited the 3 boys down for some "lunch-break bliss."  

Of course, all 4 got to spend some time at home. 

( Mrs. Pinter's sister was a cook at DHS, she and Mrs. Novak turned out some of the best Czech dishes including amazing pastries for the faculty, and they made a chicken and rice dish that I think was served at the Last Supper, was that good. Dayton still had a number of rice farmers during that time and rice was on the school menu in some form, 2-3 times a week.  And those of you who really know me, know, I got some across the river Frenchman in me that, well, I love me some rice.)

No, the Western side of Jefferson County is having troubles....

The JP in that part of the county is allegedly  under investigation by the judicial commission.

The Constable in that part of Jefferson County was supposedly notified this past week that TCOLE may suspend his peace officer license.Then his Chief Deputy was arrested last week for suspected DUI. 

Then there are now allegedly  investigations into grant money and the former Asst. Supt. of Schools in HFISD.  And if the grant money somehow wound up with Region V Service Center instead of HFISD. The money being used to pay the former Asst, Supt. salary at Region V? 

Then there is the story that the HFISD School Board supposedly knew for a year about the affair. But kept mum. 

Makes you wonder what the Buna ISD patrons don't know is going on....If there are things being hidden? 

I keep telling you, DO NOT trust any government institution, especially if the entities leadership are sitting with you on the pew at church. Maybe it is because I attended a seminary and saw how many of these " Men of God" were questionable at best, and how many that I went to school with left the clergy after " playing hide the hot dog" with a parishioner. And how many times it was covered up. It is part of the reason why I am no longer Southern Baptist. 

And to quote one of my favorite movies , "The Last Picture Show." 

Sonny- " It could've been worse."  

Sam the Lion-" I guess you could say that about anything."
