[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 596789, member: 2175"] I had not realized until a couple of posts back you taught in Worth County. I believe that qualifies for sainthood so let me know the canonization day and I will be there. The problems you cited were not new. When Earlene Wilkerson, she of she-runned-him-off fame, was elected, she beat Buck Whitfield, a longtime teacher and coach in the system, a man who was almost killed as a HS senior with a fractured skull and concussion playing football. He was one year from retirement. She would not hire him as a teacher, and he had to go up to Crisp County to teach a year for his pension. I did my elementary to junior high years in Sumner, and from that day to this, several jobs, a couple of degrees, an AF hitch and lord knows what else, the most influential teacher I ever had was Miss Strip, a truly remarkable classroom teacher with but one eccentricity, a dandy. In her home room she had a picture of Robert E. Lee. When we acted up, she turned the picture to the wall, saying, "The Great Commander would not want to see this." It is but one of the reasons she became the most memorable person in my life. (I can still recite stanzas of "the Congo," , and The Rubaiyat, for instance. From a little old school in the sticks of South Georgia.) And yes, flipping the picture worked. [/QUOTE]
