Hello all I don't know exactly what to put on this page, so I guess I'll describe myself and what made me decide to raise chickens. I am a Band Director in a small town in central Georgia. I have been a band director now for 14 yrs and a coach (tennis, soccer, and golf) for 10yrs. I have a true...

Hey, you are hereby qualified to be a mean northeasterner!
Hehe, I'm from Rhode Island ( lived in other pahts of New England too) and he says I'm so mean too. He gets a kick out of it when strangers come up, and ask questions like that. The mall is one of his favorites.

It irks me when people make a statement when they want to ask a question. "I can go to the bathroom". I always tell them, only if your mama taught you how. It keeps them busy. Just like when someone says, "you have the time". I say yes and keep on going.
Now I'm actually worried. This is the first year "Peanut"(in the picture) will be able to attend VBS. I would not be surprised if he hit a kids, or eats their snack (which is highly possible) or calls the teacher a punk or tells them they wear "spiderman panties" (evidently the ultimate cut down...

from a coach.. thanks. A lot of times we get pushed into positions we don't really want to be in, but like everyone else we do what we are to. As far as coaches being good teachers. I have had experience with both. At a previous school, our coaches were all teachers first. In fact, as a...
lots of prayers for you. There's always a rough patch after you gals pop out a baby (makes me glad to be a guy). All of the other problems don't help either. Just know that all of us here will be rootin' for you and praying it gets better.
I love that my wife puts up with me and the boys being ....well.....boys. She doesn't freak when we start wrestling or have an impromptu soccer match in the living room or keep the channel on football or soccer or go outside and get muddy with the 4 wheelers.
I hate it for those teachers who have year round school. If I didn't have summers off I would lose my mind Although I don't get the whole summer off (band camp, soccer camp, soccer practice, etc.) It is nice to be able to set your schedule. I also love the time I get to spend with my oldest...
I am truly sorry about your job loss. If you makes you feel any better, my good friend who is the economics teacher here at our school just lost his job. He was even a coach! they also fired the art teacher who did the year book, prom, cross country, and track. So its not just where you live. As...

Therein lies the problem in the public school systems. When I grew up you minded or felt the consequences. If you got it at school, you got it again at home. Now, we have kids raising kids. They still act like kids and not parents. I cannot tell you how many times I have gotten on the a...
