I hate that saying "over the hill" - but I guess I'm there. I keep thinking that I might want to teach full time again. What a laugh. I accepted a two day substitute assignment. Today was day one. I got so bored. I baby sat all day. The "students"- we'll call them that - weren't interested in anything they were doing. I felt like the supervisor on a galley ship - whip and all. Tomorrow they're to read over the US constitution and answer some inane questions. Maybe I can get their attention - sort attention span- and impart some background information which isn't in their reading. That's a big maybe. I'lll probable have to tell them I was there - they have no concept of time. Talk about educationally deprived- the kids today aren't being educated - they're just test takers. I took tests but I knew a hell of a lot more about the subjects than what was tested. I can't blame the teachers. They have to play cop more than teacher or mentor. How is the next generation going to survive? I kid my wife when she asks about her retiring - I tell her we have a fast car all we need now are ski masks. We'd probable get caught first time out. That would seperate us - bad. We depend on each other all the time. It's like we're joined at the hip. I'm avoiding thinking about what either of us would do if either of us dies. She says we should go together - but then she says no that wouldn't work -"who goes first?"
