The only reason I went to Indianola was because it was the first job available after Pat and I tied the knot in June 2005. The only good thing about teaching there IMHO was getting paid twice a month. Transitioning from Arkansas to Mississippi was rough, as was transitioning from high school to middle school. Rev Wilson and Coach Taylor were alike in that they were very intimidating and angry all the time. Where they contrasted was in Rev Wilson believing in keeping students in class to achieve higher test scores, with Coach Taylor wanting to physically beat troublemakers into submission. I had to leave due to lack of support after being assaulted twice by students within three days. I am still kind of surprised that Rev Wilson didn't physically hit me the way he did students.
The long commute each day, the pressure to get my marriage off on the right foot, and struggling to finish my MAEd at Union also led to the physical and emotional pressure I was feeling.
NOTEWORTHY: Some time after 2010, the district in Indianola would be consolidated into one school district covering all of Sunflower County
