I am a teacher. It’s a really hard job, but when I think of our military I am humbled.

I know a lot of people don’t understand the necessity of the War On Christmas, but I know that it’s not the troops’ fault that they are up there, and I fully support them. I know how hard it is to be away from family during the weeks of December 23rd to January 2nd.

Unfortunately as a retarded school teacher, we don’t get off for the holidays. In fact we work Saturdays because if you give these kids too much of a break they start forgetting which peg goes in which hole and you gotta start all over again.

We made good use of the time in our class this week by having the kids write letters to the troops, here are some of the better ones. (they weren’t covered in feces).

From everyone here at the Achievement And Acceptance Academy – Happy Holidays!
