My Life as a Public School Teacher Part One

Summary
Chapters

My career as a teacher began in the late 1970s. I’ve taught for forty years and know first-hand how this profession has drastically changed, from being respected, to being spit on. Is that what our country is all about? Is that what learning is all about? Once when respect for teachers went out the window, that’s when discipline became an issue. We know if a student is not taught to respect the teacher, then he or she will learn very little in the classroom. As for Miss Abigail Zwerner, who was shot by a first-grade student, this student was never taught to respect a teacher, and to think, he had no fear of doing what he did! As stated in the newspaper, on that terrible day, this student had threatened to beat up another student in the morning, and protocol was followed by the classroom teacher, and NOTHING WAS DONE! Later, this same student had a gun in his pocket and threatened another student during recess. A teacher checked his bookbag, because she had heard he brought a gun to school. And since she didn’t see a gun in his bookbag, she assumed he had tucked it inside his pocket. Once again protocol was followed, and she asked to be allowed to check his pockets. It was denied! In fact, she might have been threatened with a letter of reprimand for checking the student’s bookbag without permission. What I am about to say is difficult to hear, but if the teacher had checked the student’s pocket and did find a gun, she could get sued for not following protocol. In fact, she could get a letter of reprimand and might lose her teaching license. Now, that’s how mixed-up our educational system has become. Perhaps, due to this tragedy, the public school will get tougher on students and parents and returned the respect that is needed back to the classroom teacher. And so, I decided to share my life as a public-school teacher starting with, “Welcome Back!” ****Please click the Donate Button. Almost 70 years old and need funds to relocate…

Three Days in Costa Rica and Other Memories

by EP Smith

Book / Memoir

September 26, 2023

7 days reads: 13

Summary
Chapters

for me, the memoir impulse stems from an ordinary desire: to understand how the events of my childhood shaped me, why the adults in my life abandoned me and my siblings, and to better understand whatever quality—resilience, robustness, cluelessness--that allowed me to survive relatively intact emotionally and psychologically while similar experiences left others, even in my own family, badly damaged. the four adults who dominated my childhood and adolescence were not normal. they were a little off, even taking into account how much the culture has changed from the 1960s until now. i can say that now that i’m in my 60s and have experienced multiple marriages, raised children, adopted a child, had a grandchild and had the gift of an interesting life. don’t get me wrong. i’m not that crazy about normal. some of my favorite people are outside the normal range. but the not normal that involves substance abuse, mental illness, personality disorders, emotional and mental cruelty is taxing when it surrounds you growing up. trying to understand both why they were that way and how it shaped me is at the heart of this journey.
