It is really Simple..Take the Day Off!

If you need permission to do so, you now officially have it!

Yes, it is Columbus Day. And as memory serves, that means a day off for most public and private schools.

My advice: if you work or go to a public/private school…enjoy your day! Don’t play “catch up” with your work at home or, God forbid, your work at school!! This is something I would do often, and quite frankly….I thought it helped me. But, I think it contributed to overload!!

Take the day OFF. Continue reading Simple~Take the Day Off!! →

Teachers make an Incredible (not Simple) Difference!

It is here! School is beginning.

I have written previously of the fact that I am not teaching this year. Which, in turn, made me wonder about the impact I made on my students’ lives over the years. I could pretend to be humble and say “I am not sure”, but that would be wrong.

AND…. In spite of the struggles you face with the things that are so difficult these days…..be encouraged as you begin another year~

Mr./Mrs. TEACHER……
YOU are making a difference in the life of…..
at the very LEAST…
One child a year…..
multiply that by the number of years you have taught………………
AND I can guarantee you it is more than one a year!! Continue reading It is SIMPLE…..Teachers: YOU make a DIFFERENCE! →

I should retitle this as “Simply Teaching”…….

This is a really weird time for me. I am happy, but it is different.

I am not getting a school room ready…
which I have done the last ten years….

I taught in some venue for over 25 years.

And now……..

I am not a teacher.

In no way do I regret my decision, I believe with all my heart it was time for a change. I believe that the Father permitted me to leave for many reasons. And I am forever grateful that I could leave. And I am really kind of “HaPpY” (insert Pherrill Williams song here) that I don’t have to deal with it….

But I do miss this time of year….and the kids.
