Driving cars and getting jobs.....

I have realized early in my second year as a teacher that kids interests will change from year to year. As the advisor of a thriving radio and TV club at Morristown High School, I have discovered that your gung-ho students one year are not necessarily as engaged the following year. Cars, jobs, girlfriends, boyfriends, homework load, and other factors determine who is active one year and missing in action the next.


At first I was taking it personally, thinking that perhaps the luster had worn off of the new teacher. But then I harkened back to my high school days and remembered how my likes and dislikes changed from year to year.


One thing remains certain, we have a great deal of dedicated members and have already begun recruiting from the class of 2015.

Welcome to Back to School Night

I would like to welcome the parents/guardians of my broadcasting students. This blog will provide students with news, information, and conversation about broadcasting. I will provide links to technical sites, colleges which have broadcasting majors, and an occasional thought from me.

The broadcasting department is a wonderful place for your child to express themselves. It is a warm, friendly environment, one which allows students the opportunity to express themselves.

Our Radio and TV clubs offer great after school activities.

Welcome,

Mr. Michael Butler
