Where are those hurricanes!? We could really use a monster Cat.5 NOW!
"Spare the Rod! Spoil the Child!" constantly rings in my head.
They have dropped us into the meat grinder.
I think my wife has sent over 10 kids to detention already and the class is still not under control.
I'm suffering from stage fright! I can't breath and try my hardest not to shake visible. I have always hated talking in front of people, but talking infront of a bunch of people who don't want to be there is worse. Not to mention I can't think. So far I've tried to do 2 simple example's and my brain froze. Lucky for me the class just stops paying attention and I'm able to move on without them noticing I didn't finish. That's what I'm telling myself anyway.
We have found HELL in Paradise.
The job itself is relatively easy. No pressure from the Boss to make big plays. I feel like they are just seeing if we make it through the year. I knew something was fishy when they said they had to replace 50% of the teachers last year and was thankful of only replacing 35% this year.
One teacher said she has taught all over Fla. for 17 years and these kids are by far the worse, because of a lack of discipline. "Mommy will let me do what I want!"
One of the new teachers volunteered to help with the volleyball team. She got in trouble for making then do 1 wind-sprint. "That was way too mean!"
I'm stomping the crap out of my kids with notes. I'm trying not to let my enjoyment show from being sadistic with them. I have mostly 12 graders so most of them will work. My wife has 9th graders and they won't do anything. I think they gave her all the kids everybody didn't want.
Anyway! we are constantly in prayer and Our hope is in Jesus. His Love, Wisdom, and Power is in our situation and we will be O.k.! That is the only peace we have, but it's enough. It doesn't feel like it, but we know it is.

Hey, you two! God bless you both for sticking it out! Sounds as though we should have given you a "first year of school survival kit" instead of one for your marriage--again, God bless you both for sticking it out. Please believe, it only gets better; Ben and I will be married 8 (very fruitful!) years November 1. Thanks for sharing a glimpse of your lives together and the great photos--looks like everything is really cut out for you two down there! I think of the hymn, "Just a Closer Walk with Thee: "I am weak, but Thou art strong; Jesus, keep me from all wrong. I'll be satisfied as long As I walk, let me walk close to Thee"... What a beautiful way to pray, and we will, for you! I do have to honestly say, though, that I don't think I would trade my 4 under 4 feet for a classroom full of those over 4 feet! (Striving to) daily walk close to Him, Glynnis Scurry Happy Anniversary!
