Non-Typical Solutions

Took my Ash Fork basketball team to his camp one year! We were from small town nowhere and he treated us like we were special! I had 5 kids there while other schools had 30-50 but he didn’t make us feel any less! I loved his philosophy and methodology! Good man! RIP Coach!

I remember back when the power plant was working up in Page....they had a quota and ......well ......... it wasn't necessarily as per skill, ability or showing up to work.....

Nice buck!!!

There will always just be that * next to each photo................

Waaayyyy too funny....need more coneheads helping us out with that mess!!!

Are you talking about the one out there making money hand over fist above the rest of us??? Than NoBull?

Good write up. I had to leave my wife and her mom on a hillside deep in unit 27 one night! Her mom went out with us but got suddenly weak and couldn't move so I went back to camp to retrieve help. Because we make a practice of packing all the items you mentioned we were prepared and while they were not happy being left out there, they had supplies necessary! Things can go south quickly out there in the hills!

Wait....do I get to comment on how they don't really work for half a year.......and they are doinking the coaches wife......and how they make too much money anyway.......and......and......and....... Quit watching them years ago...................no loss there!!! I hope they run it into the ground, heck......if they payed me enough I'd go play!!!!

Sounds like a great place to grow up, do you know any of the Mejia clan from Williams?

Good story.....memorable experiences where we unknowingly have a brief encounter with death............!!!!

There is always this approach to education!!!! https://www.facebook.com/nadia.ware.5/videos/695516880516002/?extid=sO4OKEuI4fKmS0XB&d=n

Having experienced a broad spectrum of both human and animal...........I have enjoyed working with very user friendly mules/horses/dogs and some that I wouldn't even mess with! Very enjoyable to have good animals! Requires time and consistent training, most people don't realize that when your dog doesn't run up and jump on people they got trained to be that way, it didn't just happen over night! When you have a mule that will stand while you throw a buck on its back and an antler pokes him in the side it didn't just happen over night, lots of time spent working with that animal to get it to stand still and not be bothered! One of my very first mule experiences happened in the Gila Wilderness as a kid, watching a mule run full speed ahead, bucking and wrecking every single supply that was on his back as he raced through the forest! We had borrowed the mule under the premise that he was pack worthy and well trained.......but we learned different! That happened on day one of a 7 day venture! Remaining eggs got rationed, and we ate fish we caught instead of the grand meals we had planned! I'm not putting all the blame on the mule.......we shoulda done a better job of packing things so they couldn't get so busted up....we were very rookie!!!

Brings back a memory of kicking an old Angus cow I was milking as a kid......she kicked the bucket, I kicked her and what a bad idea.......that hurt like heal!!!

Why did I think .270 had made a return......................

Well said, I really enjoyed having a schedule similar to my kids! Watched every football game, wrestling match, music recital, deer season, turkey season, elk, javelina and fishing trip! Wouldn’t trade any of it! Teaching ain’t for everyone and Lord knows it ain’t easy but it definitely has its rewards!

While I agree with most of the initial post, there are some great benefits from being a teacher, one of them is not lots of money and the other is not half the school year off! And yes I enjoy my career and have figured out how to live off of two teacher salaries that add up to what most would consider the amount of pay for one profession! I didn't walk out on Red For Ed because it ain't my belief or style and I am thankful my school district chose to keep working! I started out in 1990 at $19,000.00 a year, my wife the same so as a couple we made $38,000.00 a year! After 30 years I make $45,000.00 a year! Most professions comparable years of college plus 30 years would put me somewhere up at least 80-90K without my wife working! I have built cabinets, worked that pig farm, Home Depot, during the summers to supplement my "days off" from school teaching! I ain't saying things are right in education because I have my own personal beefs with the system but don't throw all teachers under the bus.........there's a bunch of really good teachers out there that spend a lot of time trying to make a difference in kids lives. I ain't complaining, just trying to shed a little light on money, days off and I don't doink the principal!

Oh HEAL........go give being a dad a try......or maybe not .........kudos to parents who take the time to get involved with their kids! If you ain't gonna take the time to work side by side with your kids then go get emasculated!!!!!!

OUCH!!!

Snowflake in day 5 of in person teaching. Students had the option to online or in person and it was a very inspiring moment to see those kids getting dropped off Monday morning. Kudos to those parents who got their kids to school....without the kids it ain't nothing!!! I feel like it is the front lines of opening up and feel like teachers either gotta get after it or resign, kids mental health is important and this covid crap has been rough! I had so many kids come running up to me after they bumped start date....they were ready to get back to school!

Probably illegally...................

Ha

So who really took the bait here........yup it wasn't the lost bag of blow A cyclops spotlight and a cooler full of Mountain Dew during the deer rut ! Serial killers do it all the time cause they are so full of themselves.......narcissistic is the term and you fit the full of themselves category!!!
