So I was at a local bar and grill this afternoon

[Mr.Bill]

and the bartender, a young lady probably in her early 30s was saying at our local high school there were some fights that took place that were bad enough that the police had to be called and ambulances were on the scene also.

I live in a small town where these sort of things are unusual. I asked her how she heard about it and she said she was a teacher there.

I don't know which thing bothered me more, the fact that there was violence at the local school, or that a teacher was tending bar after getting off work to make a living. Of course, I don't know the details about her life, but it is something to think about.

2. RWers always complain about the Teacher's unions...

what they should be concerned about is the question: Why do we treat teachers so bad that they feel the need to unionize?

3. that happens here

some of the teachers work in restaurants for the dinner hour.

Something has to be done about the administration salaries. They make above and beyond what the teachers make.
