If you don't see the point, OK. Thanks for letting me know. <br /><br />As far as this story having no foundation, well, I've got the letter, in which Mr. G was denied his request for the special schedule. Mr. O is a reliable source.Martha Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092931417080881172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239044155809741001.post-81452874226178929132010-07-30T22:42:44.677-07:002010-07-30T22:42:44.677-07:00That's what confused me.

I've talked with an a secretary and a teacher who were employees in 1976 and neither one remember it. Neither believed it true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239044155809741001.post-77287531195273866142010-07-30T10:03:04.592-07:002010-07-30T10:03:04.592-07:00This is a weird post.

It's true that we work in a highly ranked district, but teachers have personal problems as well. I have heard this story and many other incredible ones as well over the years (I would say most are true). Teachers are people as well, and have the same problems as everyone else.

It's somewhat easier to believe that the story was "made-up" by a teacher that year after year was given a 7th period class. That's the vulnerability of "hearsay". I think Mr. O has some "splainin'" to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239044155809741001.post-78618960182772992542010-07-29T13:04:49.817-07:002010-07-29T13:04:49.817-07:00By the way, to all those who question your work wi...By the way, to all those who question your work with Patch, compared to here, I say give SM a break.
