Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody. . . .
Remember when Cat Stevens was cool? Before he got all, you know, stupid and stuff?
Tuesday night: Parent Conferences.
Note to self: Take deep breaths and keep smiling.
Most of the parents are lovely people who truly care about their child and want to do their utmost to help.
Too bad their memory is overshadowed by those chain-smoking welfare assholes who want the school to feed, clothe, and accommodate their child. "Educate" is not on their list of priorities. That's too damn HARD.

Standardized tests are nothing but Satanic fecal matter. Some 75-year-old guy who has never taught a day in his life and who hasn't set foot inside a school since his own school days, teams up with a 22-year-old education major who thinks school is exactly like the textbook examples, and their offspring is a demon who shits ossified opinion all over our kids.
You can't say my opinions can't be proven, now can you. . . . . .
One of the words my seventh-graders were supposed to figure out from context was 'lust.' And none of the choices was THAT choice, either. They might have known that one.
And another one was 'Feast of Pentecost.' Hell, my little dowdy-girls didn't even know what it meant.
Did I say 'ossified' up there. Beg pardon. What I meant was, 'assified.'

I teach middle school. I need a place to vent. A place to scream and yell and throw things. A place where I can tell political correctness to kiss off. Because, it sucks.
Hopefully, I have found that place. Yay!
I am not your average teacher. Beware. Tread carefully. Here Be Dragons. Bwahahahaha
