i might be dumb...

Duke,
I'm retired!  I didn't even do any long term last year - the first year in a long time, I must admit.  The school I normally work in hired a new language arts teacher at the last minute so tomorrow I can be working on track between Hannahville and Leesboro instead of getting eighth graders back into the grove.

Gene;
I think you might have meant "groove", yes?  (please don't say no...)

Depends.  After all, "academy" comes from a Greek word meaning "grove."    As you may know, either Socrates or Aristotle taught while sitting under trees.
