Az I Teach It....

- My good friend, and long-time colleague, Paul B., is so committed to his wife that he left an 18-year teaching position, to eliminate what had been a 'weekend marriage' situation.  In so doing, he took a 40% pay cut - just for going to a different school district!  Arizona has no concern for the education of its children, as evidenced by the inability to retain quality teachers who cannot afford to remain in the profession, and typically leave for another.  Marana is lucky to have you, Paul!

- Corporal punishment, for incorrigible students, has continued in some states, despite minorities more likely being spanked.  Since 2000, in states where corporal punishment is outlawed, there has been a 300% increase in physical assaults on teachers, and reports of student bullying has increased nearly 400%!

- The presidents of more than 100 major colleges and universities are promoting an initiative to lower the national alcohol-drinking age to 18, from 21, reasoning that underage drinkers are more likely to binge-drink to 'flaunt the law.'  All research clearly shows that '21' saves lives, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving will make certain that the legal drinking age will never be lowered, even if these idiot-prexys don't get it!  Besides, there are only two reasons why underage people drink - to get loaded, and to get laid - the same reasons as of-age drinkers!

- When a business makes a mistake, they call it a capital loss.  When a school district makes a mistake, they call it a high school graduate!
