I would always appreciate it but the timing couldn't be better. We had some really nasty stuff going on in the community I teach in and very hurtful things have been said about teachers. (We almost went on strike but did not.) It was hard not to take them personally and they really hurt. When people whose kids you have taught say the teachers should just walk out the door and they'll hire all new ones it is painful. The kids are what kept me going through it. Of course there are some very supportive parents but the vocal ones are not. Most of the public does not have a clue how much time we put in (oh yeah they all think we have the best hours going) and how hard our job is. I don't think most people could do it. If you don't have good discipline all is lost. Sorry for the ranting. Just wanted to say thanks!ajhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851129364728161965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-65565236036008471932011-02-15T22:25:42.729-06:002011-02-15T22:25:42.729-06:00Fenway's on my Bucket List.

Also, wanted to say thanks. I used your blog mantra....be great today at the half in New Orleans last Sunday. It really helped me through the race. I kept telling myself, "the weather is great, I really have NO reason, NOT "to be Great Today."

I was with baseball my whole life until recently but still follow with the passion of a 10 year old. <br /><br />I like you have the same feelings regarding my team (NY Mets) and that whether it be a 5k, 10k, 1/2 mary, mary they would DNF all of them. Just an ugly team up there and so I am thankful to be able to watch the TX Rangers now.<br /><br />You will love Fenway. I went to a game in September when they played the Royals and neither team was going to the playoffs but the place was packed and everybody was going nuts. Tons of fun.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08914217156791555569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-83497533408445051962011-02-15T09:15:12.879-06:002011-02-15T09:15:12.879-06:00Now that's a true fan!
