Documenting my adventures in teaching, getting to know them as individuals - because my kids are people, not test scores.

  • There are two Baby Think It Over dolls in my classroom right now (but they aren't turned on yet).
  • 8th grader 1: Somebody need to get this thing, it's lookin at me.
  • 8th grader 2, who already has one of them: Give me my godson, give him over here.
  • 8th grader 3: Now you know we don't need anymore babies over here now!
  • My 8th Graders are obsessed with the little boy in the Boy in the Striped Pajamas. . .
  • 8th grader: I've never seen a boy with blue eyes before now. They are SO PRETTY! Like ocean blue! Daaaaang.

Almost accidentally printed my science worksheets in Russian. Whoops.

Didn’t even know that was an option…

  • ROMEO: Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again.
  • BOY IN MY CLASS: That kid's got game.

“Virgin”

In conclusion, in order to prevent the spread of HIV and because it’s important to remain a virgin until marriage, you should practice anal sex.

Yesterday afternoon New Yorkers participated in a Rally Against Hate, organized by members of New York’s LGBT community. The rally was organized in response to a recent number of hate crimes, most notably the murder of Mark Carson, a gay man who was shot in the West Village neighborhood on May 18.

 

 

“His Name Was Mark Carson”:NYC Rally

  • 8th grader: Man, that's how you know people be lying about ugly babies, when they come up and be all, "Now whose pretty little baby is this?"
  • 7th grader: I need some rich friends, so that when I need money they can lend me some. I don't know how I'm gonna pay 'em back, but whatever. God can pay them back. He's on my side. He's always on my side, as far as I know.
