Never a renewal for Mrs. Hillbilly ...Miss Ann,<BR/>Nope. Never a renewal for Mrs. Hillbilly Mom. That's because she is so old that she used to babysit Jesus. <BR/><BR/>I'm a lifer. We have several of my ilk at Newmentia. Nary a renewal among us. I will post about this 'urgent' DESE thingy in the future. <BR/><BR/>I have a Master's, but I am not one of those fancy schmancy national board certified teachers. Nor do I aspire to be one.<BR/><BR/>I'm just a regular gal who happens to know that the North won the Civil War, Japan DID NOT bomb the Chinese at Pearl Harbor, Alaska is not an island off the western coast of Mexico, and Canada is not a city in Missouri. That alone puts me ahead of the DoNots I used to teach in my At-Risk classes. Which perhaps illuminates why they were classified as At-Risk.Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762161034582025921.post-38182739390728676642009-01-14T15:31:00.000-06:002009-01-14T15:31:00.000-06:00Lifetime teaching certificate?

Now that Charlie's here, I wonder if I'll ever do it. <BR/><BR/>My license expires next year. I think I have to have 6 graduate hours or a crap ton of CEU's to renew. I have 3 hours and only a few CEU's. I have no idea if it's enough. I'm probably just going to take another class in the fall to make sure. When I get my MA I won't have to do as much legwork to renew every 5 years. That's my goal-- get my master's before Charlie goes to school and I go back to work.Mommy Needs a Xanaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01807707012305893563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762161034582025921.post-43434360790799528322009-01-13T20:41:00.000-06:002009-01-13T20:41:00.000-06:00Chick,Meek had better not plan on inheriting my go...Chick,<BR/>Meek had better not plan on inheriting my good will. He is on my naughty list. I moved him right in front of my desk before I even took roll this morning.<BR/><BR/>He had to have used some kind of knifey, allen-wrenchy tool to unscrew a bold and slide the leg three notches up into the leg-holding area place of the desk, and then screw it back in again. The Vegetator (of throwing vegetables at lunch fame) was in 3rd hour, and used a keychain wrenchy thingy to fix it for me. Kudos to The Vegetator!<BR/><BR/>Arch Nemesis would merely laugh and think I was joking, as she never sees herself in the wrong.Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762161034582025921.post-75165145470654117362009-01-13T16:08:00.000-06:002009-01-13T16:08:00.000-06:00Ummm so how did meek yet delinquent new boy shorte...Ummm so how did meek yet delinquent new boy shorten his desk? And do I even want to know?<BR/><BR/>And your Arch Nemesis sounds like some of the snooty rich ladies that live up here in the big city. I wonder what she would say if you told her to get over herself.Chickadeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00516832244348723175noreply@blogger.com
