Dearest Gentle Reader, It has been said that, “Summer is the annual permission slip to be lazy. To do nothing and have it count for something. To lie in the grass and count the stars. To sit on a branch and study the clouds.” And while this is certainly true, this author would like to warn against complacency when it comes to our Kingdom just because it’s summer. And with that, let us dive right in, shall we? Temper! Temper! The latest bombshell news is that just prior to the King being hired at FedHock, he was arrested for disorderly …

Dearest Gentle Reader, It has been said that, “The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.” And so let this author provide to you some small morsels of knowledge with a fair serving of truth… Royal News The latest information to storm social media this week was that the King was non-renewed from his last job in Cincinnati. You know, a non-renewal like what the king and “bored” did to Shamblin – so, he was basically fired. This came from a letter that was acquired through a public records request to his last school …

Dearest Gentle Reader, It has been said that, “Our public officials have forgotten that they are ultimately accountable to the people who put them in office, that the information they keep in secrecy belongs to all of us.” And so it is with the greatest of pleasures, that this author delves into this particular topic. The Ongoing Saga of Shamblin’s Non-Renewal Now the conversation whispered on everyone’s lips is wondering at the inner workings of the “bored.” What are the “bored” members thinking?” What are they doing? What do they know that we do not? Of course, we, the public, …

Dearest Gentle Reader, It has long been said that, “Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.” And this has certainly seemed to be the case surrounding the king’s rather sordid past. But truth be told (and this author is certainly wedded to that concept) this endeavor to reveal truths to the citizenry of the kingdom has snowballed far beyond this humble author’s imagination. And I have you, dearest reader, to thank for it. Many people from all over our fair land and even from outside of our kingdom, have reached out to me for …

Dearest Gentle Reader, It has been said that, “When good people do bad things, it is sad, but when they reach the point where one can predict that they will do nothing but bad things, a deeper kind of sadness sets in, almost at the level of resignation.” And in this case, it seems that many people are choosing literal resignation as a result. When checking the temperature of the state of our Kingdom, certain things stand out, but nothing more than the fact that we are still in the middle of a mass exodus of teachers and administrators. This …

Dearest Gentle Reader, It has been said that, “Secrecy is what is known, but not to everyone. Privacy is what allows us to keep what we know to ourselves.” And with this in mind, let us embark upon a lengthy journey of this past week…with both facts and speculation. Let us start with the most non-surprising surprise of the week… The Non-Renewal of Rake Shamblin The Protest It was a pleasant surprise to have this month’s Bored agenda published before the actual meeting took place. Within it was an item indicating the King’s intent to non-renew Shamblin. This resulted in …

Dearest Gentle Reader, A wise woman, Ms. Brown once said, “If you think dealing with issues like worthiness and authenticity and vulnerability are not worthwhile because there are more pressing issues, like the bottom line or attendance or standardized test scores, you are sadly, sadly mistaken. It underpins everything.” And with that, shall we dive in? The Season of Testing Stress High stakes testing season has begun, as evidenced by the social missives posted to the Kingdom’s socials and various school newsletters. The King even graced us all with a short video of himself. I guess that $5000 bonus is …

Dearest Gentle Reader, This author finds that it is time once again to put pen to paper to bring you up to date with the latest news of the Kingdom. It has been said that, “Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light” and it definitely feels truer now more than ever. So much has happened that this may be a bit longer than normal, but this author shall dutifully prevail… A Verbal Warning for Me and a Written One for Thee At the much anticipated and well-attended Bored meeting of the month, it was …
