Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 73 degrees F and cloudy here at the Jersey Shore. You all know that I love the hot weather but it feels nice to have the AC off, the windows open, and have the breeze...

When I started working at the high school the push was for all students to go to college. There were like 5 AP English classes and I was like "there definitely aren't enough students who qualify for that". I saw parents refusing...

Most of us love seasonal fruits and vegetables. One of the things we have always enjoyed in the summertime is melons. I don't have the room to grow them in my little bitty garden, so I try to watch for sales or farmers, etc....

I make it a policy to stay the heck out of that place from the minute I walk out on the last day and the minute I have to show up on the first day of the next school year. There is absolutely nothing that I need to do for the...

I have zero interest in soccer/football so I haven't watched any of it. None. I did see terrible reviews of the first ever half-time show today for the final match here in NJ and they were pretty scathing so of course I had to see...

I'm talking about administration. In April or May it was announced that the building principal was retiring. It made sense. He's got both the years of service and age. He and I were always friendly and ready to talk about Jimmy...

NJ Chicaa @FourWalls an old family friend accused me of smacking a student this morning. I was so confused. I don't know if she meant me or someone else. I would never smack a student.

NJ Chicaa Yeah it is a difficult job. Whenever I see people say/post "those who can do and those who can't teach" I want to throw hands. The job is incredibly difficult and its not just about presenting lessons.

NJ Chicaa when I was in the hospital in March I was afraid that they were going to make me go through that. Luckily it was just an endoscopy and it was pretty easy. Granted I hallucinated after the propofol but the procedure itself was quick and didn't cause any...
