• Twin Siblings Say, 'I Do,' Then, 'I Don't!'

To a point.  On the other hand, teachers are paid poorly for work that is getting harder each day.  The requirements of No Child Left Behind and managing increasingly behaviorally troubled kids must take its toll.  I'm not excusing a little before work pot-smoking.  But I can see how it might help one get through the day.   Posted Apr 23 2007, 08:54 AM by Rachael Brownell (Redsy) with | with 4 comment(s) Filed under: teachers, teachers behaving badly, marajuana, pot, Benjamin Ayson, Hawaiian, Linda Luhrsen
