- The principal, not the head secretary, actually runs the place.
- I'm indoors with a classroom that has a window by the door that looks out into the hall.
- The hall is illuminated by a skylight.
- I can step out of my door, and lean into some other teacher's class if I have a need to.
- It smells nice.
- They have a PTA.
- It's 1.6 miles from my house, no stoplights.
- When I go upstairs (we're built into a hillside) to the playground, the Las Vegas Temple dominates the view to the east--it is about three blocks up the street from my school. Cool.
- Everyday, one of the administrators, or office workers, or another collegue asks me if they can help me in any way---and they REALLY MEAN IT.
"Traditionally, literature makes much of the beauty of fleeting things and the delight of the bittersweet mixing of pain and pleasure. But no one ever said that heaven was seasonal or fleeting. Heaven is always portrayed as blissfully monotonous, one bright blue day after another forever and ever. Rather like California."

New School
Here are some things I like about my new school:
You make me a little homesick. I just left a great school with excellent kids (for 11-13 year olds!), wonderful administration and FRIENDS. Hubby got a job in another state and I had a baby in May. Not ideal conditions for commuting. My oldest starts school next week, so at least there will be a little back to school spirit around here.
