Fridays on Defend

[Hardball]

Big weekend planned but I don't think I have enough time to do everything. I wish monday were a holiday. My weekend highlights, dinner out tonight, teaching 4 private lessons, 1 hour massage appt on sunday, stock up on fruit, Cut the grass and find some time to practice striking on the heavy bag and wave master. The rest is just my usual chores.

What's on tap with you?

I still have to see the Bourne movie and of course UFC and this really hot guy convinced me that if I watch football with him, I will like it so that's on too...

Today I'm entering grades which they told us Wednesday were due on Friday... good thing I had to take the day off today anyway for an appointment. So I'm busy with that. Entering lots of zeroes.

I know what you mean. I've heard 100's of stories but this day and age, teachers have taken the role of parenting.

I'm learning that classroom management isn't my strong point. *sigh*

I'm getting better, though!

Really? I imagined you as the teacher who punishes kids without impunity. jk

thats messed up. you admit to failing to take control of your own classroom, you fail to engage these kids in a positive way and effectively challenge them to do better, and then you want to give them poor marks?

because you have failed your students and our education system, these kids are going to fail your class and have to take it again next year were they are going to fail again

This from the burnout who said, "school's for suckers."


You have no idea what you are talking about so just go smoke a bowl and STFU.

That doesn't work... Anyway, my 31 and 33-person class sizes are getting to me. I don't understand why I have 90 students and another person who started with me with the exact same cert, grade, subject matter and position only has 40.

Shoot, I should've just given them A's for the blank pieces of paper. That'll prepare them for the future. My bad.

You are a high school teacher?

................................


Nope.

[DickHardman]

Hold the phones!!

A clue to your identity?

You are a high school teacher?

I sooooo badly want to know for sure, who and what you are!! (Perhaps then I could put your 7000 + posts in context).

i already knew he was a high school teacher by how depressed, angry, and bitter he always was. however, it wasnt till he revealed to us his strong desire for young, frail, skinny, emaciated, helpless, pre pubescent asian boys with bowl haircuts who are so thin they kind of look like they have a 6 pack cause it gets him off more, combined with his many "vacations" to asian countries he goes on by himself that really gave it away and made me realize that he is for sure a high school religion teacher who uses his classroom time as a way of justifying his own pathetic life to himself by constantly repeating the same bullshit stories of his misfortunes and shortcomings to his class over and over again, and forcing them to respond and interact with him against their will by penalizing them if they dont.

i hope that puts it in some kind of context for you mr arieson.

Worrying about that will only make you less happy.

[treelizard]

That's a run-on sentence.

You're right. I should be excited that I finally have books!!

I see you took my advice and smoked that bowl (and a few more), you worthless, brain dead, burned out, loser.



Keep on smokin' Cheech, you're doing great.
