Cool Civil War Story - Matt Macoubrie - 01-10-2014 12:37 PM
I got this from the Civil War Trust website and I think it is a great patron to all teachers out there and to all the people that have ever thought that teachers do not work hard. As an incoming teacher, I know what it is like to be told that, but I know that deep down inside, we fight for everything and everyone . . . so thank you to those such as the 151st Pennsylvania Regiment who fought in battles such as the Battle of Gettysburg!

Great Story Matt! As a Teacher of History for 35yrs,I can relate to the "Teacher Thing"! I used to tell my Kodak and Xerox neighbors."That I go thru more drama and trauma in first hour of the day,than they do in a lifetime"!
