I still can’t see a transfer between agencies. There could be a RIF with certain priority rights, but she would still need to post for and qual for the new agency. If the jobs were the same classification, the KSAs would line up, and the priority rights might clear any specific technical shortcomings.

And if she happened to be a veteran AND have re-hire rights, she’d trump about anyone else on the roster, once she made the roster.

I love French. I took it for three years in high school, spent my senior year in France, and later worked as a French translator for three years. I’ve taken a few French classes in college, too.

Unfortunately, it is easy to lose a language if you do not get much practice using it. Few people speak French around here.

Taking college French without any high school French was a bad idea. But then, I’ve had a few.

Let me mention a few gals I thought about marrying......

I had Spanish about 5th or 6th grade. Not much. But I thought, how boring.

Oops.

All I know is that I cannot send my child to public school in Houston. Even the elite/Vanguard programs are located in crummy schools where she would get rub elbows with and be attacked by ghetto children.

It simply is not safe.

So I spend over 10K a year to not use the schools that my tax dollars pay for.

Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.

I love it when an idiom is demonstrated.


Beat me to it.

Too many coaches are asked to teach other subjects....

The famous John T. Scopes (defendant in the TN "Monkey Trial" of 1925) was substitute teaching when he agreed to stipulate that he had "taught evolution", even though he had no recollection of mentioning it in class.

His main job? Football coach.
