I am a 6th grade teacher. I've been in the 6th grade way longer than Jethro. Earlier this week there were 21 turkeys about 80 yards outside my classroom window. I had to go look. I'm sure the kids were thinking " The old geezer is ate up with turkeys! Keep looking pops, it gives us a break!" They were still there at lunch time, so I got to watch them for a while then. I have, and have had, some pretty good hunters for students. That's nice. I also have a very good teaching assignment. So when you hear a teacher whining about how bad their job is, remember that he or she does not speak for all teachers. Also, probably the best Christmas present I ever got from a student is a muzzleloader short starter made from a piece of elk horn the kid picked up out west in a national park. This started out as a short post. Oh well.
