We need a winner

The Tigers now have a four game losing streak

There was an interesting turn of events this week — things I have been saying for months and years, seem to have become popular.

That not only should teachers give more detailed passes to go to the library (be in the hall), but they should step up and explain to the students that it is the rule

(at least with the middle school) team meetings should be ‘team’ meetings and not ’staff’ meetings

It is interesting when events turn. mr wiggles seems to get worse each day. He took a picture of a student doing work he wasn’t suppose to be doing (cutting wood without safety goggles or cover on the saw), turns out the picture was staged. The kid was doing things that he normal doesn’t do. I had the picture on the web page and the superintendent noticed it.

We had a meeting on Tuesday and the principal said students needed to have a pass anytime they were in the hall. Ten minutes after the meeting two kids came to the library WITHOUT passes. So I repeated this at the next meeting. What was kind of funny was the fact that the persons who let kids leave their room did not own up to it, so the French teacher kept saying: “was it me” on different examples.

Ironically the biggest offender is the guidance counselor that is a really nice woman and spineless. She will never point out to the kids when they are wrong, thus there is one more example of the librarian is a bad guy and everyone else is okay.

Just heard a review of Adam Green’s new album, one of the founding members of The Moldy Peaches. It is a band I would play on the radio when I was a college DJ five years ago. It was a fond memory of back then.

Gratitude (3)

I am grateful for the fact that sometimes things I say are eventually supported, even if I am not given credit for the thought
I am grateful for too much baseball
