4 Crazy Teachers Can't Believe we made it to issue 2...

The Online Magazine for Teachers who don't mind a little "Faux Pas"

Issue II- Year-2001

From the Editor:

     Well, well, well.... here we are again. I have to admit that I'm feeling a bit anxious this time around. Issue One felt so natural: it just flowed from our imagination. But now, as with most things, there is a letdown and some pressure to live up to all of the glowing remarks made by our first time readers. Well, they weren't all glowing. For the most part, though, we seemed to strike a nerve with many of you, and we certainly hope to keep doing so in the weeks and month to come.

 

      I'd like to thank everyone who submitted comments, whether positive or negative. They are all very helpful (who am I kidding?). Many of you wondered about the regularity of this publication. I have to be honest, and tell you that I don't know. We'd like to see at least one issue per month, perhaps more often. Those decisions will be based on content. There's no use putting something out there just for the sake of doing it. In this regard, we will rely on our readers to submit new and fresh material, and of course to help us by spreading the news of our existence via email and word-of-mouth.

     

Enjoy.

From the JokeDesk:

 

Thank you for your contributions. Humor is a very important part of what we want to do here. I have received over 20 jokes and although some of these may have been around for a while, they nevertheless brought a  smile to my face. I haven't included all of them in this issue. In fact, I'm saving some of the better ones for later (a technique to keep readers coming back).

 

If you have a joke, and I'm sure you do, please send it to:

 

crazyjokes@theeducatorsnetwork.com

 

I have placed a warning beside the ones that may be offensive (another technique to ensure that you read those ones first!!)

SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

 

It would be very inconsiderate of me not to give a very special thanks to a couple of young ladies, originally from Canada, but now studying down under to become teachers. It seems that they somehow stumbled upon Issue One of Crazy4Teachers. It had been sitting there for several months, with only a couple of people even bothering to acknowledge its' existence. Tracey and Michelle and I exchanged emails late one night... late for me, it must have been afternoon in Australia. Their energy was palpable as it traversed the vast distance of fiber optic cables between us. Suddenly inspiration... and a renewed sense of purpose. In only two short weeks we have gone from three or four to.... wait let me count... 148 new subscribers. I feel good... and summer time is here!
