Why is it that I am always relieved when the legislature finally ends? Could it be that we spend so much effort fighting off bad bills that we are just glad to see them go home where they can only bother their families and neighbors. I am always amazed at how much damage 104 people (yes, I am throwing the Democrats in with our good friends the Republicans) can do to public education in only 45 days. Yes, misery loves company, but I would not want to be a teacher in Jordan right now. That volcano is ready to erupt...Bingham High teachers are boiling and the pot could boil over to other schools. Whenever I whine about my job...often lately...I am shocked back to reality when I look how bad it is in other states, districts, and (let's face it) Haiti and Chile. Okay, I got it off my chest...I feel a little better thinking of other people's problems.
