But they handed in their resignation at the end of the school year because they couldn't teach at a school that would alter Shakespeare. I feel sorry for the kids in the years behind me that didn't have teachers willing to stand up.Jenimalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01672965395441055537noreply@blogger.com
