It reminds me of an old quilt I kept visiting in an antique mall. It finally disappeared after a couple of years and removed all temptation, although I did photograph it hoping to maybe reproduce it someday. I’m glad you have been able to hang in there with school despite all the challenges.

I was an elementary media specialist and retired early (basically). I can’t imagine what my job would have been like during the pandemic. Keep up the good work.

I read an article last week that said college students are deciding against teaching careers. Combined with early retirements this doesn't sound promising. So thank you Angela, for persevering and keeping a mostly positive attitude.

My brother was a high school band teacher for years and retired at 55 about 2 years before the pandemic - he said he would have kept teaching but the students caused a lot of stress - had to always have a second person present if you had to talk to a girl in the Karen - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143452821962929299.post-73402402671692784312021-03-29T15:16:08.349-04:002021-03-29T15:16:08.349-04:00What?

M...What? No hint of next month's color!!! haha<br /><br />My 39 year old son went back to school at 32 to get his masters in teacher and second BA in physics. He has been teaching Physics, AP Bio and remedial science for 4 years. He loved his first two years (honeymoon?) but now he is sooo burned out and frustrated. He says if he didn't think there was an end in sight he'd quit.<br /><brMelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07401111910497262005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143452821962929299.post-49860051096413011692021-03-29T14:42:54.631-04:002021-03-29T14:42:54.631-04:00The red sashing looks great with your scrappy nine...The red sashing looks great with your scrappy nine patches.

Health care workers, grocery store workers, and teachers for sure. I don't know about Florida, but SD has a long history of poor pay and lack of respect for teachers - and this year hasn't helped their situation. However I firmly believe our local schools could be a shining Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06412341664506380343noreply@blogger.com
