A Few Words On My New Job and Why It Kicks Ass

I have this new job. It's tops. Not only do I get to work with freshman...yea, get 'em while I can still influence their sponge like minds, but the principals (not administration, but beliefs) of this school are right up my alley. Back to those corn based cups I mentioned in the previous post. The superintendent told me they pay more to use those cups "so they can support the people who produce them". There isnt even a plant in this state that can compost them...they get taken up to Seattle. The school is as paper free as possible. Report cards- online, schedules- online, student reports and homework- emailed to the teacher. Have I died and gone to heaven? Even math work is frequently done...on the computer. We focus on global appreciation and value, helping students to recognize their place in the world. Wow, these Oregonians really got some neat ideas. Something must be working because 85% of the graduates of this school go to college. Now, check back with me a little into school to see if the high achieving, conservation crazed white people start to drive me insane. I'm thinking I might just get a little more hippie and eliminate paper from my life.
