spent three hours in uly's classroom today

[Zomby Woof]

His teacher's aide Salin had enough of my impudent behavior, and I sat in the corner, wishing I could play with those freshly sharpened pencils instead. :dunce:

[HamHocks4Kerry]

1. Are you a student?

Where do you go to school on Saturday?

[Zomby Woof]

2. uly is STRICT

He makes me go to school every freakin' day of the year. :o

[HamHocks4Kerry]

3. Maybe if you did your work on time and quit goofing off...

you could have weekends off. That's just a suggestion, and I hope you don't take offense.

[Zomby Woof]

4. wow

You must be the new principal at his school! You're mean!

[HamHocks4Kerry]

6. Booyakasha! You must have been joking.

I am sorry. I misunderstood.

I am really a nice person. Didn't mean to come across as a butthole. :-)

[ulysses]

7. is Zomby getting up in the new folks' koolaid again?

<looks for Mama Zomby's number>

[Zomby Woof]

9. you SHOULD come across that way

Because when you come across these 3 DUers:

Matcom

ZombyWoof

GOPIsEvil


You have been threadjacked by the Asshole Triad called M.A.T.C.O.M.

It is not just threadjacking - it's a way of life.

[HamHocks4Kerry]

10. I'll remember that.

Thanks for the heads up. :-)

[Zomby Woof]

11. and actually Jill

We used to give students "Saturday School", a kind of detention, when I taught back in WA years ago.

[HamHocks4Kerry]

17. Hahahahaha!

You think? :shrug:

[ulysses]

5. ROFL!

You just wish Salin was my para.

The para I *do* have has his "special place" he takes the problem kids...:evilgrin:

[Zomby Woof]

8. well, I salute BOTH of you

I substituted for Special Ed a few times, including the severely disabled. You name it, I did it... high school age, not a lot older than your students.

[liberalhistorian]

12. YIKES, folks, can you

believe ZW is actually a teacher himself? Aren't you glad YOUR kid isn't in his class, at least not that you know of? :evilgrin: :bounce: :bounce:

[Zomby Woof]

13. WAS

Left that behind 6 years ago, and never looked back.

And I was damn good, just tired of good programs for the at-risk youth I taught getting the budget ax and being without work for stretches in-between. Do not ever become a teacher in WA state. If the stupid admins won't kill you, the idiotic and apathetic parents will.

I suspect that is common.

[liberalhistorian]

16. That's for sure!

Stupid admins and idiotic and apathetic parents are certainly not found only in WA! Growing up with two teachers drilled that lesson into my head at an early age.

[ulysses]

14. I had severely/profoundly disabled kids this summer

They were a complete trip, the diapers notwithstanding. :) I should be so lucky with my kids for the whole school year.

[Zomby Woof]

15. yep

You can include "diapers" in my "did it all" above. :-)

Just don't take any crap from the admins! You did say this was your first foray into public schools. I support public schools with my heart and soul, but it can be a real uphill struggle UNLESS you are blessed with good people above you who know when to help, and when to stay out of the way and let you teach.

And good people are out there - just make sure they know it!

[salin]

18. Back away from the chalk erasers!

NOW!

[GOPisEvil]

19. How did you manage to fit into the little desk?

:o

[salin]

20. he cuts a dashing figure

crammed into the little plastic chair/desk

[Elidor]

21. I always thought you two were separated at birth

You look very similar. The two of you and Salin in one room? Look out: Critical democratic mass has been reached!
