AN ETHICAL QUESTION

(Guest contributor: Joe Jung, Ector Jr. High Choral Director)

During a discussion of U.I.L. Contest procedures, Mr. Jung explained to his 7th grade girls choir about the judges who would be in the room during performance. A sweet young lady quietly raised her hand and asked, "Doesn't it say in the Bible - 'judge not lest ye be judged?' " Something to think about at U.I.L. time.



SMALL VICTORIES THAT KEEP GOOD TEACHERS IN THE EDUCATION FIELD

(contributed by Sherry McCrary - Abell JHS - Midland, TX)



SWEET moments today when I gave my "special" students their TAKS scores....they were "terrified" to come to get their scores....the smiles on their faces when I gave them the sticky note that said PASS, was priceless....but the best part were my awesome kids that gave each and everyone of them a standing, whooping ovation...in every class! Almost made me cry! THIS, my friends....is what teaching is all about!! ;o}

IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME

What happens when you open up the choir room on a Saturday morning for Nimitz boys and their musical male role models???? They will come.

THINGS I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SAY

  • Guess what? Mrs. Lollar is going to retire.
  • No popping wheelies in your wheelchair, Teddy!
  • Sopranos, you need to sing louder!
  • The boys were the best behaved choir in the audience today.
  • You are too quiet today.

WHAT DO KIDS SAY BEHIND OUR BACKS????

(from a guest contributor who wishes to remain anonymous) ...... "this is classic 8th grade: principal comes by yesterday to "warn" the students about having a cell phone on them during TAKS. One of my students: 'Miss, I don't think she was loved as a child' me: 'what did you say?' he repeats it again and then adds, 'i just don't think she got enough hugs when she was a little girl' ...bahahaha….cracked me up but I couldn’t laugh."

About Me

My photo
Hello .... I'm Kathy Lollar. Let me tell you about myself. I recently retired after 30 years as a public school music teacher in my hometown of Odessa, Texas. My career in public school music education provided me the opportunity to work with elementary, middle school and high school students. Additionally, I have maintained a private piano and voice studio for over three decades. I have instructed college students at Odessa Junior College and The University of Texas of the Permian Basin. In contrast, I have taught Kindermusik for families of small children since 2007. My retirement from public school education has allowed me the chance to fulfill my dream of bringing the music academy concept to the families of the Permian Basin. I am proud to own the West Texas Music Studio which employs some of the finest music educators in the Odessa - Midland area. Music students of all ages are offered courses in piano, voice, flute, guitar, choir, and / or Kindermusik. Listening to children sing, watching them dance, and hearing them play does my heart good. Witnessing the work of fine music teachers makes me proud of my profession.
