"Is MLK still alive?"
So asked one of the students of a teacher friend of mine in rural, red county WA state.

Just one of many reasons he is looking for a position elsewhere.

5. I was going to take up teaching as a second career........but
I'd probably end up with a stroke, heart attack & high BP from just trying. "Is our children learning?" Sometimes its even worse with college classes.

6. I think I spotted him at Burger King
He was with a hefty guy in a white bell bottomed jump suit.

7. Why not? Lots of people there swear Elvis is still alive

8. yep
He is in my house. His pic is on the wall, his books are on the shelf, his speeches are on my computer.
He called us to make real the words that our founders wrote.
He lives in my heart.
So sorry to hear about that ignorant little child.
