Especially when it comes to raising funds etc. However, when did it become acceptable to charge $50+ for a yearbook that does not even get into the students' … Continue reading Enough is ENOUGH!!

Love to watch and listen to people – especially in today’s society – seems so many people have NO CLUE someone, somewhere is watching or listening
Message to the Young People Of America
First of all, it's America....not 'mercia. It's time to quit short cutting things and chopping up the English language. That which is acceptable for social media is NOT always acceptable in mainstream life. We are embarking upon Summer break for our youth and I noticed that it seems to be a very trying time for … Continue reading Message to the Young People Of America
Accountability
Here we go again....7 days left in the school year and I'm notified that about an assignment or two due a MONTH ago! My reply..... "It's hard to hold kids accountable if we don't take IMMEDIATE action and let things slide for months. It's giving the impression that it's not important so the student won't … Continue reading Accountability

Suggestions for Schools….
...through experience, we gain knowledge... I'm trying to find the silver lining in the rather chaotic educational experiences we are having these days. I'm hoping that this experience helps me find knowledge needed to avoid the chaos and perhaps help others. I cannot help but wonder, "if I could overhaul the education program completely...TODAY, could … Continue reading Suggestions for Schools….
Pondering….
A few thoughts since this last Dramatic Monday.... Bullying on the heels of my being called a bully, by someone of authority, in the school for which I volunteer a LOT of my time, a friend said (not exactly quoted): I don't believe in bullying, you have to let yourself be bullied. This statement holds … Continue reading Pondering….
A Positive Spin
Well, I've been asked to be sure to give my school some positive feedback on my blog... I can say that I'm pretty positive that I should have been in that building more than the one time, yesterday. Would it have made a difference? Maybe? Maybe not? But at the very least, I wouldn't have … Continue reading A Positive Spin
