A well deserved recognition for a hard working staff. Kudos to Jeff and his crew. You deserve way more than you get.

Can you use some retired teachers on you staff?

John

Yes, you guys do a pretty good job. Perhaps this is or is not the place to comment on this topic but, here goes. Every time an educator, teacher, administrator, aide, coach, bus driver or whatever is busted for a moral wrong doing the newspaper leads with the headline, "Teacher is busted." Nearly every time a non-educator is "busted" the job or profession is left out of the entire article. For instance, are all of the people in Clearwater perverts because this one guy solicited sex from a minor on the computer? This is one of the double standards that educators are held to that "normal" citizens do not have to live with. I understand the standards that educators need to be held to but, what about the rest of society?
