Funny & Fun School Stuff
(with just a little dark humor)
Sometimes I never want to quit more than when I am at boring professional development meetings with people who aren't even teachers anymore. Talk is cheap...and anyone can do the things these people do for a while...but for years and years...5 classes a day.
Who is that handsome guy?
An interesting prank from a bit ago...
Facepalm! & edited for privacy. This is what drives teachers crazy. We want our students to do well, to succeed and to learn: we know it's best FOR THEM. When they come to class late with food they just bought because they choose that over coming on time....no hustle, no grit...keep it up and little chance of success either. Here's a link about that: https://www.ted.com/talks/angela_lee_duckworth_grit_the_power_of_passion_and_perseverance?language=en
But if we are going to keep the mascot "Raiders," should we not forget that there are still pirates at large. This guy looks like he could be saying "CI#1!" However, currently most pirating seems to be done out of Indonesia, so our mascot should look something more like the guys on the right...no guns though, it is a school. Is this worse than somehow saying "Raiders" from the past is o.k....because it was farther back in history? The terror, brutality's, and brigandry they caused doesn't matter...? We're canceling Columbus, but we're still the Raiders... am I missing something...?
This is a sign I made for a student, named Amada. I showed a picture in class of my first girlfriend and she asked "does your wife know you have that picture!?" I told her I am still friends with my ex and she had such a hard time with that, that at my next birthday party made a sign for her with my first love (whom I still love as a person) and my wife, who's totally secure in her being here. You know, well-adjusted adults who make good decisions (mostly) about who they date and marry.
