Teachers Of The Year Almost Before They Teach The Year | Eastern NC Now

    If I Go To All The Trouble Of Making Fun Of Something, You Would Think That The Made Fun Of People Would Stop Being Silly, But It Does Not Work That Way
    The commentary below was first published in October 2010 and nothing has changed.

    Yesterday (9/13/17) I drove past my nearby Government Elementary School and saw that that school's Teacher of the Year had already been crowned. Wow! They have been in session about two weeks and the cream has already risen to the top!

    Actually, I don't pass that school every day. Heck, she could have been crowned a week ago, for all I know.

    It is quite possible the Coronation Committee met her at the door the moment she arrived back from Summer Vacation.

    Below is my original silliness on this subject...

    Becoming Special Before Doing Anything Special
    In our area of the good ole USofA we start the school year in the middle of August. By the first week of September I started noticing that the bulletin boards outside of our Government Schools were announcing the teacher who has been selected Teacher of the Year for the particular school. Does this make sense?

    I was still confused about these bulletin board announcements when, in late September, I read in my paper that the School District was in the process of selecting the Teachers of the Year to be finalists for Teacher of the Year for the Whole School District. The awards banquet is slated for November 4th.

    Wow, these people work fast! After less than three months of a 9-10 month school year they already know who the best of the best is!

    Most reports show American Children falling behind the children from the rest of the world regarding their education. Imagine how fast and far they would be falling behind if our teachers were not so fast.

    Would I kid u?
