Protesting?

by Novel

yesterday, 2017

Are any of you taking part in the protests? There were loads in the UK last night. I was at Book Group, but we watched the news and saw thousands of people out on the streets. Trump is certainly a polarising figure.

Betty Ann Yep, I'm around. Yesterday was the last day of our semester and I spent it working with students who had a little more work to do to be able to pass a course for the semester. AND "babysitting" for a couple of really hyper middle school ED kids whose teacher is out due to his wife's death. Very hard to get a sub, so the students were divi...See More

Smiling Novel Alison - Hope your final two weeks of break are happy and restful. Have a great year. Do let us know if all that planning spruced up the teaching. We're never too old/young to learn new things, are we? It's one of the things I love about this job.

Flacka - So glad you are enjoying retirement. Sensible to have postponed the trip in the lig...See More

This amazes me. Our granddaughter age 9 has a robotics class she takes right in her regular 4th grade school day. Public Education IS doing something right and gearing towards our future. Go PUBLIC EDUCATION!

Rough time

by Cher

Dec 21, 2016

Anyone else having a rough time this time of year. I am experiencing much sadness even through all the joys of this season. I can't seem to focus and get it all together although I have had enough time. Ever since the election, I think I lost "hope." Usually, it is joyful but not this year. Oh well, we go on. Teachers are energizer bunnie...See More

Bill T (retired)
So it isn't just me.

I've been down, seriously down since November 9th. Won't
say anymore about that. Politics is so foul and
disgusting.

Christmas time is one that I dislike, intensely.

Never had much of a family and still don't. Sometimes life
sucks...

Cher Thanks Bill T for sharing.........same here since Nov. 9th. Down and out but now I picked myself up, put on my big girl panties and decided to be determined and "conquer my world in 2017. Keep posting and remember the GA board IS FAMILY. At least always has been for me. xoxo ~Cher~

Gifts

by Cher

Dec 19, 2016

Okay, just a few more gifts to wrap and then clean house for family coming this weekend. I am getting so excited. The weather here is sunny and in the 70sF today. Glorious weather. I wish each of you comfort, warmth and the spirit of this season on all of us no matter if or what one celebrates. Caring is so good.
