Trying to find a way to approach my husband about the fact that I feel like he pays way too much attention to my boobs. Any time he's trying to be romantic or start something physical, it starts and ends with my boobs. He grabs my boobs more often than he hugs or kisses me. Sometimes I feel like that's all he's…

I love both of them SO HARD! I need to cuddle these animals NOW.

I taught freshies for the first time this year (had taught 10th-12th the previous 3 years) and it's actually been pretty awesome. And having taught the other HS grades helped me see where the weaknesses were, so I got to design my 9th grade curriculum to help fill those gaps in skills/understanding I saw in my 10-12…

9th graders aren't so bad, actually. You get to mold them right at the start. You will have the most influence on how they perform and behave the rest of high school. Not to pressure you or anything. But it can be a very powerful and productive year for both you and your freshies. I'm sure you'll do great.

Way to go. I was in your shoes in 2009. Go knock 'em dead, Teach! =)

Each balloon had a puzzle piece? Ain't nobody got time for that!

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Ugh, as a teacher I haaaaaate promposals. They're super distracting to the student body, and more than once I have had my class interupted by a promposal. Just give the person some flowers and ask them out for godsakes. Why does it need to be a huge song and dance?

I will eat the hell out of this, thankyouverymuch.

It gets clearer as you get older. I know that kind of sucks, but it's true.

My husband feels the same way.

Can we please talk about the fact that Brienne is so totally in love with Jaime? Squee.

I may not know them, but I know right from wrong, and no matter how good an educator or friend he may have been to you, he still did something inexcusable. I'm sure it is difficult to grapple with this, and I am sorry for whatever turmoil you may be experiencing. But nothing makes sleeping with a child under your…

Good. I hope he suffered. Victimizing anyone when you are in a position of authorty is inexcusable. I'm sorry you or anyone else had to suffer at his hands.

You make an interesting point. You are right in that using authority as a ticket to sex is morally wrong, hands down. But I find it difficult to agree that it isn't perverted, or whatever you want to call it, when an adult in a position of authority uses that authority to extort sexual favors from a child (even if…

These students may look young because they are likely a freshman class, but I have absolutely no doubt (due to the class size, set up, and the fact that they call their instructor professor) that this is a college classroom.

This is not a High School prank, it's college. The video clearly states that their professor has this policy. I teach HS, and sure as heck no one calls me professor.

That is pretty hilarious, I have to say.

But even a crush is a type of admiration, so I would still say they look up to us. Even if they don't know it, they are looking at us as examples of adult life and behavior. And a good adult does not prey on children, no matter how "grown up" they may seem in their teenage years.

Unfortunately, you are right.
