    Regardless...Thank you to Eddie and the entire band for ALWAYS having us, teachers, who feel their students are an extension of their own families', backs.  Your support is appreciated more than you could ever know.  Keep making great music for us to both utilize in our classrooms and feed our souls outside of.

    Thank you! I'm looking forward to tuning in.

    This has been a fascinating year of professional growth for me, totally reinventing my work and understanding my students with a brand new set of eyes. I have found a silver lining around all the exhaustion.

    Finishing year 28 with 15 more to go. There have been a lot of Pearl Jam breaks along the way!

    Impressive!  I'm currently 10 years in with 20 to go.  Doing my 30 and getting out.

    My final teaching practicum was the worse time in my entire life. (The first was was great, though.) 

    Hats off to you guys!

    I've moved between states three times and lost a year's credit every time. I also took a year off after year 11 and cashed out my pension to support myself during a health situation. Worst financial decision ever, but you live and learn. Now I have no choice but to teach until I'm 65 for full retirement. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. . . 

    Keep up the good work!! You will make it to 30 easily. I currently work with a PE teacher in her 70s and her goal is to make it to year 50 before she retires. She's as youthful as can be and a great mentor to many. That could be you someday!! You never know. 🙌
