Back to School

Well, I've spent 6 days in training. School begins for us Monday, and the weather is predicted to top 100 degrees.

True to just about every school district in the nation, we're beginning a "new" curriculum, and also a new discipline method. If you've been in education as long as I have, there is one sure bet in life -- a "new" way of doing something will come and go about every 5-to-7-to-9 years.

My brain is tired. My body aches from all the lifting and stuff I've had to do to get my room ready. I have 5 more years to go before that magical retirement pops up.

I just hope I can hold out. In the meantime, I'm going to add a countdown clock to my site, just to help give me something to look forward to.
