The here and now... and what and why

Complacency is a trap. At least that’s what I was thinking when I up and left the comfort of a Yankee prep school gig, where I taught music, amongst other things, for 28 years. There was also that life long career as a composer, musician and artist.

First, it was a year in St. Thomas, USVI, working as a reporter and shooting photography and then, a year in San Agustin Etla, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Time passed.
More time passed and a year back in the Athens of America followed by a hasty return to Oaxaca where it is all happening.
A couple of years in San Sebastian Etla and now, just down the road in San Pablo Etla. Life is good.

Hopeful sign?.... not so much

A difference of opinions has arisen.

From Milenio (in Spanish)
The national coordinator of education workers (CNTE) rejected that there was a pact which set the end of the sit-in in Mexico City and back to school next Monday.

In addition, the leadership of section 22 denied that the beginning of the school year 2013-2014 in Oaxaca has raised in the minutes of agreements signed by Governor Gabino Cué and Undersecretary of the Interior, Luis Enrique Miranda.

Allegedly, on Thursday night was the agreement that put an end to a month of unemployment in schools and the lifting of the sit-in that keep teachers from may in the area Center of the Federal District.

However, yesterday Rubén Núñez, leader of section 22, said that it was a lie that they have accepted to leave the nation's capital: "At no time put on the negotiating table discuss the matter of the day fight, much less return of the companions to the educational work in Oaxaca".

Francisco Villalobos, Secretary of the Organization, during the plenary Assembly said: "Conditioned the signing of the document to immediately return to classes is a vile lie, we say it categorically".
