  1. Oh boy, I love this glossarhee! Very creative, funny, and true. I just found your blog and am looking forward to reading more.

    I taught in the public schools here in Texas for ten years, and it was simply too much. I had no quality of life. My husband left first and I followed two years later. I think we fall into the group of teachers that leave that parents wish would have stayed. We simply couldn't take it anymore.
