Any teachers out there ready to talk about the beginning of the new school year. Here in Texas, most schools have started. One district nearby delayed because of flooding in June caused damage to every school. Hope to start next Monday, but many students will not go to their regular school for a few more weeks. Otherwise, it looks good here, but easy for me to say since I am pretty much retired.

We're thankful school doesn't start until after Labor Day.
Labor Day is a huge benefit to local economies and summers are short in the Northeast.
I was talking with several teachers that have been having so much fun this year that they're not looking forward to returning to the grind.
Some students we know are taking an extended vacation, so they'll be starting school late.

Testing time coming soon in Texas. Already schools opened on weekends for tutoring. Teachers working overtime for little extra pay.

Should schools be polling sites on election day. Given that normally to enter a school a visitor must enter through the office, show ID, and get a name tag, why should anyone be allowed to enter on election day to vote.

Once again, testing time at the secondary schools. Saw numerous cars at the HS where I use to teach. Tutoring by teachers Saturday and Sunday. Also an SAT test this weekend. How are things where you are?

Recently I have seen schools celebrating the 100th day of school. When did this start? What is the purpose?

ANy celebration out there is probably a positive VIBE in the life of the students and teachers alike.

Probably right, with all the testing and stuff, staff and students need that!

For sure ... youngest daughter has been working on building a geneology tree begining with the wife and I foward, and backwards all the way to the late 1800's.
There is an incredible amount of Teachers and School Principals on my Mothers Side backwards to where she could find INFO. Amazinn, and interestingly enough, mostly in the Female Side of the Spectrum.
Love their work. Having to deal with Kids with their daily problems is NOT an EZ Job to have.

Badpetroleum, you are one of the few who understand what teachers go through.

Some parents would have a big problem with it. Many teachers make students put in box in front classroom. Other just say put on silence and keep in backpack or purse.

Parents that cannot or will not tell their children where the Fun Starts and Ends, specially when in School.
