He won 22 medals, 18 of them gold. His Olympic teammates voted him in to carry the flag. He's 31 now, and hopefully, has moved beyond some personal issues he was batting some years ago.

As you might know, he grew up about 20 minutes from me and went to my high school's rival. A friend of mine from high school actually has met him and my friend is a swimmer and trained where Michael Phelps trained. According to my friend, he definitely could be a hot head and stubborn, but when my friend asked him to do an interview for our high school's paper, he was very nice about it. He even let my friend take a picture with him for the paper and gave him some excellent advice about being an athlete.

After reading about bag check at the Magic Kingdom, I really don't think I want to leave the park, and take a midday break. The entire process is too involved, and takes way too much time. It's easier to just build in some rest time for myself in the Magic Kingdom.

Legally it is very difficult to dismiss a teacher after year 2 harder after finishing year 3. If admin doesn't like a teacher easiest to do after year one when they are almost an at will professional. There are so many steps and checks/balances. And I support the procedure even though it is frustrating at times. As in your example it is equally important to not dismiss an employee that might be privately struggling with MS or had a minor stroke. Times have changed too, parents and other staff have to be very cautious about the nature of their complains as does teachers with students and parents. Slander suits really pinch so everyone has to be able to back up their statements not just hearsay.

I've seen people get all up in arms when we place staff, any staff on PAID administrative leave. Depending on the circumstances and if we are really ferreting out the truth or just dotting our i's and crossing the t's is what we do with them staff. Some are not to step foot on property or interact with school in any way or if it is likely they are coming back once the dust settles we give them a project in the Admin Center. PAID leave is a very good legal tool and costs very little and prevents the district from possibly being sued for overall a small sum of money.

I understand all the circumstances, but this teacher, was found to be over indulging in alcohol. That was why he was terminated. No law suits. The parent's were glad he was gone. It was a sorry situation all around.

I love when I find "found" money. It makes all the cleaning fun. I sometimes put away money, as I know I will forget about it, and it's so fun to find it once again. I do this to keep up the cleaning. It goes for something fun....a meal out, or movie, or a trip on light rail....to downtown. This keep's our life interesting.
