There are squirrels in the backyard that need to be chased away.&nbsp;&nbsp;But it\u2019s too early for barking.&nbsp;&nbsp;The fire in the fireplace is taking the chill out of this early November day, and CeCe our foster pit-bull puppy is snuggling on blankets in front of it.&nbsp;&nbsp;But we are still in Ohio.&nbsp;&nbsp;Frost in the morning will give way to sunshine and mid-sixties this afternoon.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s a good day not to work, at least at school.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are plenty of leaves to rake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As usual I\u2019m listening to&nbsp;<em>MSNBC\u2019s Morning Joe<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;They must need a rating\u2019s boost this week, they led the seven o\u2019clock hour with Donald Trump.&nbsp;&nbsp;Joe Scarborough learned from the 2016 election that&nbsp;&nbsp;Donald Trump boosts ratings.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So they are talking about the Insurrection, and how the Justice Department isn\u2019t moving fast enough, and what Congress must do.&nbsp;&nbsp;My take:&nbsp;&nbsp;all of that is going to happen, and when it does, we all will be watching.&nbsp;&nbsp;Until then, let\u2019s talk about what\u2019s going on today, not what we wished was happening to Trump.&nbsp;&nbsp;Leave him in petulant exile at Mara Lago, like Napoleon on Elba.&nbsp;&nbsp;We will have to deal with his next Waterloo soon enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Level One Lockdown<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week I was teaching a social studies class when the Principal put her head in the door. \u201cKeep the door shut and the students in the room\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;It wasn\u2019t a criticism, there was an unexplained emergency.&nbsp;&nbsp;Soon a fire truck, an ambulance, two command vehicles and two deputy sheriffs were in the parking lot.&nbsp;&nbsp;Next there was an announcement on the PA System&nbsp;&nbsp;that our wing of the building was on a Level One lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I remember when we came up with the \u201clockdown procedure\u201d back in the late 90\u2019s.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are three stages.&nbsp;&nbsp;Level One \u2013 shut and lock classroom doors, no one in the halls, continue teaching.&nbsp;&nbsp;Level Two \u2013 level one \u2013 but make sure outer doors are locked, and stay away from windows, there&#8217;s a threat outside the building.&nbsp;Then there&#8217;s Level Three \u2013 danger in the building, barricade the doors and hide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Level One was an emergency, but not a threat.&nbsp;&nbsp;When we came up with those definitions after Columbine, we recognized there were times when we wanted the hallways cleared, but we could continue education.&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe a student was acting out, or there was a health emergency.&nbsp;&nbsp;This was one of those times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike the late 90\u2019s though, today almost every kid in class can immediately communicate with the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;It didn\u2019t take long for the kids downstairs to let us know what was going on.&nbsp;&nbsp;A substitute teacher was having a health issue \u2013 a stroke or a seizure.&nbsp;&nbsp;It turned out to be much worse.  He had a massive heart attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mr. Pokorny<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A couple of weeks ago I was checking out at the office from subbing, when the secretary asked if I\u2019d had the chance to talk to Mr. Pokorny.&nbsp;&nbsp;He was also a substitute, and was surprised to hear I was back in the building.&nbsp;&nbsp;Now I could blame it on my \u201cadvanced\u201d age, but I\u2019ve never been great with remembering names.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are former students that I can tell you their grades, their term paper topics, where they lived and what shirt they wore to school four out of five days a week \u2013 but I can\u2019t remember their names.&nbsp;&nbsp;So I didn\u2019t remember Mr. Pokorny.&nbsp;&nbsp;But he knew me, and I was curious to get re-acquainted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We never got the chance to catch up.&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Pokorny died last Friday, after both high school staff and then paramedics were unable to revive him with CPR.&nbsp;&nbsp;It took until Monday for me to figure out who Chris Pokorny was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Talking Shop<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 2006 until 2014 I was the Dean of Students at the school, Watkins Memorial  High School.&nbsp;&nbsp;My office was just outside of the main office complex with the door open to the front lobby of the building.&nbsp;&nbsp;Folks would often stop by for a chat; kids, parents, and teachers.&nbsp;&nbsp;And there was a substitute teacher who would stop in.&nbsp;&nbsp;He was on the School Board for a neighboring District, Northridge, and was interested in how \u201cwe\u201d (Watkins) did things to compare with his District.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We had long talks about discipline policy, individualization with students, teacher policy and how to pass school levies.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I actually didn\u2019t catch his name.  I just knew that he was a \u201cgood sub\u201d for us, available for work and able to keep control of classes.&nbsp;&nbsp;He liked to talk education, and he cared about kids.&nbsp;&nbsp;And so did I.&nbsp;&nbsp;So we talked a lot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No More Chalk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an \u201colder\u201d teacher, there\u2019s a \u201cvision\u201d:  to&nbsp;\u201cgo out with chalk on your fingers\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, first of all there\u2019s no more chalkboards.&nbsp;&nbsp;And you don\u2019t really want to go that way \u2013 your passing would traumatize the kids in the room.&nbsp;&nbsp;I know that Chris Pokorny didn\u2019t want to do that, but fate didn\u2019t give him a choice.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Level One lockdown kept the desperate attempts to save his life in the semi-privacy of the emptied hallway.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Substitute teachers often pass through those halls of school, and lives of kids, without a whole lot of impact.&nbsp;&nbsp;They are \u201cplace-savers\u201d more than educators, \u201ckeeping the door shut and the students in the room\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;But they are absolutely necessary \u2013 and if they are \u201cgood subs\u201d, who are available to come in frequently, they begin to establish relationships with kids and staff.&nbsp;&nbsp;Watkins lost a \u201cgood sub\u201d last week, and I\u2019m sure Northridge lost a good school board member.&nbsp; My condolences to his family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I\u2019m sorry we didn\u2019t get a chance to catch up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Since writing this essay I&#8217;ve found out more about Chis Pokorny:<\/em> <em>a retired Army Colonel, West Point Graduate, and  an active member of his community.
