I don’t normally catch the morning news because I’m usually running around like a mad thing or the munchkin and I are watching educational programs after breakfast, but this morning was a late start because my husband and I had been up talking until 1 a.m. the munchkin had woken up and hubbie had taken care of him and had Fox 35 news on when I came into the room.

They were talking about a school in our area and showcasing all the good things that that they’re doing for their students. Apparently this is a weekly feature that the news broadcast does as part of their morning line up, and I thought that it was such a great idea, too often the news bits that I catch are really downers, students going on rampages, schools losing money, parents going on strike and CPS being called on them, but this is a wonderful feature and I was happy to see them complimenting both the students of the school for their attitude and intelligence but also the teachers for the important work they do for the community.

Teachers are so often in thankless jobs. I have several friends who work in teaching and they tend to get a lot more abuse from both students and parents than they do compliments, which is a shame, and here the news broadcast is making sure to boost everyone’s attitude about both learning and teaching. I thought that was wonderful. Fox 35 Cool School of the Week program features Lyman High School in Orlando this week, and has voting up for next week’s cool school.

I thought as the broadcast came to an end how this was also in line for the program that my friend Skeet does weekly, her “Share Some Good Stuff” meme.
