School Drama

Hey, Crystal here. T Jay usually posts, but the school fun began yesterday, and I know I promised you all out there stories. Only the teachers are at school right now, and yesterday we had our convocation. All the schools get together, and it's supposed to be a peppy, teachers are so great and wonderful and you can do it! kind of time.
Our new superintendent was our speaker. She came aboard last year, in the middle of the year, and has not been making friends. Last year, a certain science teacher did not get a paper turned in to the AP board on time, so she canned him. He finished out the last couple of weeks of school, and what do you know, he's the teacher of the year!
Well, yesterday during convocation, all the teachers of the year from all the schools were being announced...only who was missing? That's right, the GHS teacher of the year. Ummm... the high school teachers actually booed. It was kind of funny. I was sure we were going to get lectured.
Thank goodness we didn't. Well, then she goes on to bore us with talk of the TAKS test and how we didn't do well enough, and now we're going to be under a microscope to make sure that we don't let those kids down! Then, a video was shown for a program that gives grants to teachers for classroom supplies. In it, the old superintendent was being interviewed, and the entire auditorium cheered for him. Not just the first time he came on. Every time. Perfect ending, don't you think?

That is funny! At least the booing made the meeting more entertaining!
