IT'S A SIGN OF THE TIMES

I'm sorry...

...it's not funny...

...but with the stress that teachers are under now?


From the Huffington Post

Kindergarten Teacher Jennifer Rich Charged After Drinking Beer In Class


CAT Tracks Editor's Note:

It's inexcusable...

...and a total shame to throw away a career that began in 2001.

I would ass-u-me that her personal life was in a shambles and that the incident had nothing to do with teaching kindergarteners...

...that it just ended there.

Bears repeating:

It's sad, so sad, etc. etc.


POSTSCRIPT:

Memories...

...light the corners of my mind.

Wow, at my age, that's reason to celebrate, to raise a glass...

...but not at school!

Yes...

...back in the day, the Cairo High School staff was known to lift a few alcoholic beverages...

...but, after school, at the Speakeasy and the Levee Restaurant. (Sigh, both vacant lots now.)

Oh, the inhumanity...

...especially now, what with PARCC, PERA, and so many other reasons to imbibe!

Cheers!
