From the Editor: After much thought and deliberation, we finally decided to get off the lawn chair and get to work on issue number III. I must admit that the heat, sun and yellow grass in these parts did little to help motivate us. After all, we teachers just like to spend our summers doing nothing. Well, almost nothing. Our superior salary does allow for much time to think. For example, here are some of the things I plan to do this summer with all the money I saved this past year:
1. Three week vacation in Europe 2. Renovate the kitchen (marble counter) 3. Hire a maid and a nanny to help around the house and with the kids 4. Landscape the perennial garden 5. Trade in the Chevy for a BMW 6. By the summer vacation home in the Rockies 7. And last but not least....
.... "Miss, Miss... why won't you answer my question????... Miss, Miss!!! Are you daydreaming again? I need this summer credit you know! Just because the air conditioning is broked and it's 110 degrees in a class full of summer school students, is no reason to pass out!!! My mommy is going to hear about this.. She says daddy pays huge taxes to support your high salary!!! Miss are you listening to me?"
Enjoy what's left or right!!!.

Stool samples by Chuck Sodergren
For the past twenty years I have sat on the same old worn out stool when I supervised students in the school commons area. Today my much beloved stool was missing. I got on the intercom system and appealed to whomever had taken the stool to return it. A group of intelligent and creative students thought they would have some fun over the incident. They told me over the intercom that they might buy me a new stool. They asked me "Do you want us to send some STOOL SAMPLES to the office?" I caught on to their idea of humor right away. The missing stool mysteriously showed up the next day.

YOUR FEEDBACK by Teresa White
This
e-zine was absolutely refreshing! It drew on the commonalities that
all teachers face in their every day lives in a very unique and creative
way. In essence, it not only provided educators with a forum for
sharing their experiences as teachers, but more importantly, encouraged
educators to consider new perspectives and ways of thinking about these
experiences. |

HOW NOT TO INTERVIEW! by Chuck Sodergren
Our
Social Studies teacher, who is also our head football coach, let us know
that he will be leaving at the end of the year to accept the challenge of
coaching at the high school level.
Our deputy superintendent and I set up several times to interview
possible replacements for him.
Today we had what I hope is a once in a lifetime experience. If we
were to look for a better model of how not to interview we couldn't find a
better one.
He said and did all of the wrong things.
He arrived thirty minutes late; had no excuse except to say that he
got a little behind today.
He had a two day growth of beard.
During our initial introductory small talk I asked him if he was
growing a beard.
He said "No, I'll never do that again, I just haven't had time
to shave the last couple of days."
He began everything he said with, " No pwobwem."
We interpreted that to mean no problem.
He said that he wanted a job so bad that he would be willing to
work for a thousand dollars less than anybody
else we could find to do the same work.
