I Might Be Asking Too Much From Teachers

I subscribe to a lot of random email lists. Democrat, Republican, City Council, etc… I won’t embarass the group or the person who wrote this email, but it made me sad that this person is a teacher. I mean, can we really expect much from the kids, when this is the kind of response that comes up from a teacher during a debate on health care? Or maybe I am just expecting too much.  I think if you are a teacher and going to write an email to an entire listserv, your thoughts should be a little more coherent than this.  Am I just being overly critical here?  Thoughts?

Tomorrow is <name redacted>’s and my 25th anniv. If this lady I’ve been working for pays me tomorrow (she was supposed to last Friday), we can go out. I work right by the Montlake Bridge. I know there is another rally later in the week. I signed up to attend the dem. meet up on the 14th. Originally it was the 15th and I couldn’t attend because that’s Ethan’s BD. But the 14th I can attend. Seems those holding out against the public option are receiving a lot of “bribe” $ from the insurance industry. I don’t know what they’re going to do about Sen. Kennedy. They’ll have to appoint an interim senator, but whom?

I just got home from a union mtg. We voted to accept a one-year contract, but a lot more work needs to be done on it over this next year. Here’s hoping the union works hard for us. I start classes (GCU) on Wed. Am supposed to start back at Ingraham same day but Joe and I want to spend the night at the 4 Seasons Olympic and I’m not rushing off to work first thing in the morning, so I guess I’m taking a personal day. They only gave us the phone call this morning to tell us we were to return to work on Wed. morning at 7:30. That’s kinda late notice, if you ask me. Just another example of Seattle Schools and their fine organizational skills NOT!

  1. Yes. Disappointing for sure. I am not sure what those two paragraphs mean. Maybe benefit of the doubt is in order and <redacted> was tired. But in the light of Kent and Lake Stevens teachers striking in the middle of a pretty serious recession casts a lot of scrutiny on our educators.
