One of the things that sucks about my school is that there is such a high turnover rate among the teachers. Every year we lose roughly 15% of our staff. The silver lining in this dark cloud is that for the past five years, the staff here has been relatively young and enthusiastic, and there is an incredibly strong sense of camaraderie!
One of the ways this gets strongly played out is through sports affiliations. We have huge baseball fans here at the school, the most outspoken of which roots for the Yankees, Red Sox, Cardinals, Dodgers, Phillies, and of course, the Mets!
Since the Phils are playing my Mets this week, things have been pretty vocal between myself and Ms. Konnight, the resident Jersey-ite, who chooses to very vociferously root for her Phillies.
However, yesterday morning, I arrived at school to see that Ms. Konnight had her kids plaster my door, my desks, and my whiteboard with Phillies propaganda, I mean, paraphernalia.
Wow. Right now I’m figuring out how to get her back. Submissions are appreciated!

You see, I would submit an idea for revenge, however, I am a fan of the Phillies and I can’t help but be proud of my fellow fan- going after the Mets was the best news of my day! :-) I’m sure Dad would be proud too. See you soon!
