18. My daughter is a new teacher in Texas

Nov 2016

I told her great, finally a teacher that believes in science.

She was on her second week of interning and only asked one innocent question from teacher she was shadowing and it got her yelled at by principal! For asking a question!

She never told me what it was but my daughter is a moderate who sometimes votes on the right, this time for Hillary. Her husband is high up in military.

She was told after that she was not Allowed...to talk to the other teachers, so she quit and went to the top people who were in charge of her program. The principal was not allowed to discipline her even if she had done something wrong which she didn't.

So she got special permission to do her internship next semester at base school instead. Originally she didn't want to because her husband is one of the commanders.

They move again this summer, she never knows where, but at least won't have to deal with northern Texas school system.

One of these days I am going to ask her what the question was....

My daughter is very caring, and not the type being a officers wife to say anything wrong.
