re: OT Teachers: Would you fill out all of the paperwork to be teacher of the year

After I was selected as my school's teacher of the year a while ago, I told my administration that I wasn't doing anything to take me away from the classroom. They really pushed me hard on the parish level, but I was insistent. I have no desire to be an administrator. I don't like schmoozing with strangers. Outside of rooting for LSU football, I'm really not that competitive. I slapped together a portfolio in an afternoon just to get them off my back. Then I came in second and felt annoyed for five minutes. Lol!
