Viva la Indepencencia

Well today is the 16th of Sept. The celebration of the Mexican Independence and the 6th anniversary of getting the keys to my new house. Now it still seems new and a nice place to come home to after a long day at school. This school year is really interesting. Only ten original teachers and the 5 aides that were with us throughout. Many are talking already of not staying. Many are hoping things will change after the board finally decides what they will do over the super's violation of board policy and violation of his own contract. Many of us feel nothing will happen as does the super. The board has put the metting off till sat when they were supposed to meet on Thurs. now they will meet again next Thurs but no actions will be taken. We shall see. The new school has a principal and 3 assistants and everytime you ask a question then they do a nice little sidestep. Today I had to go in for a conference after a spot observation on Friday. It wasn't the best but they never are at the beginning of the year. That way they can say how much you have grown. Of course I could defend all I did and she was pleased with my work and complements me for steping up even though I didn't want 5th. yeah, yeah, yeah I've heard that before. Maybe 34 is the end of my teaching career. We shall see. Worked hard this weekend so I came home and did nothing today. Thinking about all the things I am not doing in the yard. We shall see. Thinking of destroying some of the things I built up and not working so hard, especially since the things are not growing. We shall look around and see what we are going to do. Right now it is time for bed. Just going to go rest and wait to see what tomorrow brings.
