LIBRARY

It is now one of my pet peeves now. It has been one of T's pet peeves for quite some time.
Where people leave out the "r" in library and February when they pronounce it. I am sitting in a classroom (plan time) with nothing better to do than surf the web and read, and an announcement was made over the intercom to the whole school (population about 800 or so). "Mr. ..... please come to the LIBARY." This is in a school where many of the students English is probably not spoken at home. I know that it was a secretary but still she is part of the education of the students. I was very very disappointed today that they said the Pledge of Allegiance to flag of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA in Spanish.
If we were to speak Spanish, the Armada would have not been defeated in 1588!

I know that I should keep my comments edifying but I am tired of my nation being diluted by political correctness.

I found this guy staring at me this morning.

I took out the trash this morning. Observing the other side of the road I realized that the wind had blown in refuse from down the block. I decided to go and retreive it. I picked it up. Then I picked up some more refuse, then I stooped over to pick up one more piece of "refuse" and realized that George was someone else's refuse but not mine.
I put it in my pocket and went home.
Wben I opened the door the phone started ringing. I did not have a job for this morning, planning on just working this afternoon. But God does provide and He had a job waiting for me at a private school where I have not subbed before. I took the position and enjoyed my time there. This also worked out for the school because they offered me Wednesdays and Fridays till the end of the year to fill in for a part time teacher. I only have to get three more days filled per week until the end of school.
God provides even in the little ways.

Makes a Teacher Proud



















This picture is not very clear but the message is to both Tesa and Me.

This is the wall of distinction at Benson High School. The list of 2008 seniors includes TWO students that we taught at Central Christian schools about 7,8 & 9 years ago, Le Drake and Sam Drake. To have a hand in the education of a student that exceeded gives a satisfaction to a teacher that is hard to describe. Both of these children were adopted from Asia when they were young and their parents worked very hard to bring them up in the way that they should go.
I know that it was Le and Sam's hard work and their parents diligence of bringing up their children, but it is nice to know we had a part in their education.
There is much reward in teaching, sometimes it is never seen but when it is, the satisfaction is more than money will ever purchase.
Thanks Le and Sam, we are PROUD of you.



P.S. I would have never seen this except for being called into substitute teaching. Which I am enjoying very much.

A first in many years

Saturday morning I woke up but I was bummed about the day.
I would not be working. I was disappointed that I did not get to substitute teach on a Saturday.
I have not had the desire to go to work for many years. I know that I am where I am supposed to be.
