We can't blame it all on public education...

I'm convinced, after being nearly finished with my first semester of teaching, that some of the stupidity demonstrated by students in the American public education system has less to do with poor schools and teachers and more to do with students spacing out all of the time. For example...

Teaching is for the birds

So, the place the teachers are supposed to park is directly under a powerline. It's as if Mother Nature decided that I didn't have to put up with enough crap in my classroom that I needed a bit more in my life. I saw a guy literally do a double-take at my car today. Be forewarned that this is not pretty.

How a-muse-ing!

Santa should bring each freshman a dictionary for Christmas, but they'd just use them to prop up their Xboxes.

Webster is my homeboy

If you ever told your parents you thought your teacher was out to get you, they probably told you to stop talking crazy. I can tell you this: you were right.

The Ignorance Game

Whatever happened to just playing Monopoly?

Shakespeare and Tigers...oh my!

One of my more interesting weeks, I must admit.

Bond...School Bond...

This must be what it feels like when a politician votes for him/herself on election day. I hope I win...

"Kids, let's talk about diversity!" "Where's Diver City, teacher?"

What is a teacher to do when she finds herself in a group of very ignorant little people who exist in a very diverse world? Tell the story to the Internet world, of course!
