New Hires

So at my school this year we had 5 positions open in various areas:  Math, science, sped, music director and chemistry.  How many of those do you think were filled by men?  I'll give you...1 guess.  Yup, all of them!  (Well, they haven't hired a chem teacher yet but you KNOW that will most likely be a man).  Now, don't get me wrong, I like men...I have nothing against them....hell, I'm married to one.  My father is one.  I have two brothers who are men.  Bubba and Zeke are dog men.  I just think it's interesting that it's men, men, men.  I also think it's interesting who they hired for the sped position.  See, originally we were told by FW that it was going to be this recent alum from my school, fresh out of college.  Then I was told by the president of our union that, "Oh, no!  HH is going to hire a friend of his that was RIFed (fired) from another school district nearby along with his wife and they have a 6 month old."  Interesting that our prez isn't in the "in" because they hired the young, new guy.  I hope he's good.  That's all I really care about.  I bet you next year, after my evaluation (here's my paranoia kicking in), he'll get a full-time position in the HS and I'll get moved to the 1/2 HS, 1/2 JH.  UGH!  Now I have that to think about.  Can that really happen?

And that's about all I have to say about thaT (Line? Line?  Forrest Gump)

My luncheon yesterday was good.  I found out what it was all about.  It was a Senior Athlete Scholar Award Luncheon.  The 17th annual.  Senior athletes with a 3.6 GPA or better are included.  There were about 25 kids this year.  My girl was cute and funny.  Each kid got up and she was the 2nd one in the alphabet but the first to get a big old laugh.  Her parents were there too...she was so cute!

Today is basically the seniors last day.  My three seniors in my Geography class took their exams yesterday - 1 got an A (no surprise there); one got a high B (big surprise there and so happy for her) and my final one got a LOW F (no surprise).  UGH!  5 more days left!  So excited.

K - well, I'd better head out.  Talk at you all later!
