I went on a blog "break" a year ago. Other than a few music posts (and updating a few links), I've stayed away. It's been great!
What about page view count? A year ago it was 3M+. Today, it's approaching 8M. AI programs are scouring the internet and "learning".

Remembered a comment I left on an April 10, 2013 post (Shorter Season Proposal). There were some great folks in MISD...and there were some absolute jackasses. Here's the comment:
'No more money, but possibly more work. That seems to be the standard in many Public Schools these days.
No unions for protection, and if you want to keep your job, you accept the additional assignments, or move on or get replaced. We are all expendable...we're just swim coaches.'
100% correct.
mansfield isd had me coaching on my (state required) conference period and in math meetings during my (by law duty-free) lunch.
they tried to screw me out of part of my retirement (would have meant over a quarter of a million bucks if i live into my 70's), but i was able to win that fight.
the second i stood up for myself, i became the target of retaliation from both athletics/aquatics and academic sides.
zero protection.
human resources lady even stated that all the bullcorn things done to me didn't fit the technical definition of retaliation.
if they keep it just under that threshold, your life as an educator becomes absolute hell on earth
they don't give a rip about you or the kids you work with. it's all about how administrators/directors can remain in their positions and keep getting their raises.
i survived the 'storm' and made it to retirement on my terms.
unfortunately, most that stand up for themselves end up kicked to the curb.
thanks for letting me vent.
p.s. what's the number for t.e.a.?
