OK, Steph, Now Show Us Happy


Hmmmmm. Looks like Virginia Teacher of the Year Stephanie Doyle didn't get the memo. The one that said, "Steph, when the photographer from the local daily shows up, look excited. It's important." Looks like the headline writer didn't get a look at the photo before writing the head, either.

The Breckinridge Middle School history teacher wasn't exuding much enthusiasm when Sam Dean snapped this photo, giving the top story in today's paper something of a comical look.

  2. I am increasingly deleting comments from this blog that are in Chinese characters or are advertisements. Pisses me off.

  6. I am so glad that when caught in mid sentence I am criticized. That day, I was teaching about slavery and frankly that is NOTHING to smile about. I am not a model. I am a history teacher. I am not going to stop and pose for pictures. My students are the ones that are MOST important in this equation not a photographer snapping pics! Having very serious class discussions builds skills that will last a lifetime. I am not going to jeopardize that because I am there to EDUCATE. Seriously, I hope you have better things to do than to post items on your blog poking fun at people. Get a grip!
