TRY IT AGAIN

Posted by Tim on Wednesday, May 22, 2013, In : Lofty Notions 
Well, all we can do is see what happens.  I wrote to Senator Whitmire -- again -- yesterday, and pointed out all was NOT well at TDDJ.  Will he investigate?  Raise hell with the Powers That Be in the lofty towers in Austin?  Who knows... but at least it's on record that he was told.  AGAIN.

SPARE CHANGE?

Posted by JCO007 on Thursday, October 13, 2011, In : Lofty Notions 



Some things never do change.  Some things do.  Sometimes thing just LOOK DIFFERENT... but the end result is the same.  We can't afford to keep on doing business way we have been and have any hope of making things better for ourselves or the kids.  This website is intended to be a sounding board for JCO's, teachers, and yes, even Administrators to use for sharing ideas on what might work to make our jobs safer and our efforts more effective.
