History and My Story

Not sure what will happen to this blog next year—but this is probably the least of the uncertain things about “next year.”  All the teachers keep saying how this was the “year from hell” because of the contract issue, the lack of support from town council and school committee, the firing of a principal and other lay-offs, etc.  When people say that, I know what they mean intellectually, but honestly I do not feel that way in my heart. 

In the past it has always been very difficult for me to leave teaching for awhile after a Buell baby is born and then come back…the first year back is usually a huge adjustment for me.  But really, I love the team model for 9th graders–and this has been a great year, imho   I’m sure I owe a lot of that to you, my students.  Overall you were a lively and interesting bunch—thank you for being you!!!  It will be fun to watch you in the coming years. 

Feel free to drop in here and enlighten the new 9th graders with your astute 10th grade take on the world.  Enjoy U.S. history—-hopefully you will recognize that we do live in a great country.  And please have a fun and safe summer!  I hope Taylor’s bones heal quickly, that Andrew enjoys aummer “off-line” in Vermont and that you all meet with success in whatever endeavours you pursue.

xoxo…Mrs. Buell
