That was kind of my point. The best parts of GNR were everything except Axl Rose...

I believe that is the way GNR was meant to be enjoyed. Axl really needs to let go of GNR and retire.

I grew up loving GNR, but mostly Slash. My dad had no discretion in what he listened to around me, I knew all the words to "Welcome to the Jungle" before I was three. Honestly, Axl is probably the most disposable of all the members of the original line up, too bad he holds the rights to the name. Slash and Izzy on…

I had a very troubled student last semester who, along with being a bit of a bully, constantly disrupted classes (high school). We, as a grase level team, referred him to the school psychologist. He was classified as emotionally disturbed (among other things). It was shocking though that some of his otger teachers and…

It is splitting hairs. Sitting silently isn't distracting or disruptive, but it might give other kids ideas (the horror!). I mean isn't sitting silently the behavoir teacher want from students for the other 59 or whatever minutes of class.

I stopped saying the pledge around 4th grade. At first I still stood, by 8th grade I didn't. The only time I stood in high school was for my art teacher who was a friend and a vet out of respect for him. I think a lot of people would agree with you, but I still think this student should have the right to stay seated…

Can't watch this movie without crying. Miss my golden mix named Shadow.

My first name is a country and people always use the English pronunciation, which I'm not a huge fan of. My last name, however, is hard even for some native speakers and so is my husband's last name. I guess I'll just be that teacher no kids trust.

In Spanish that sounds identical to Javier (ha-vee-ehr) with the stress on the first syllable. Kids have corrected me enough that I default to Ex-ay-vee-er now unless the kid tells me otherwise. The problems of substitute teaching.

As a sub who looks like a student, and inappropriate requests like that get the student an immediate referral.

Ugg I hate the assumption that pubescent boys must enjoy and sexual advances made on them by older women. How is it not clear to us regardless of whether they like it or not, it's child molestation because they're not old enough to fully get what's happening to them.

Dismissed the troll in case your wondering where the comment went

Right? Once while subbing, I was shouted at by a sophomore student "flash me". After getting the class on task, I quietly sent him to the office on referral after calmly explaining that what he did was considered sexual harassment.

The best part is that the same people who use this insult eat fast food on the regular. If the workers didn't exist, they wouldn't get they're quick lunches in time to be back at the office before their lunch break is up. I wish that every person was required to work a service job for 6 moths of their life…

This employee was out of hand and an exception to most park employees. I have an annual pass, and I've been about 10 times this year. I've seen way more exposed on a regular basis without anyone batting an eye. I was actually there yesterday and saw plenty of skin. I'm pretty surprised, but I'm pretty sure this is an…

The odd thing about me is I pass as a heteronornative female when I don't really present that way. I wear dresses and stuff for work (what I call my "teacher costume"), but I normally wear loose jeans and a t shirt (usually mens sizes). I dont wear make up or do much to my hair except tie it up. I don't do many…

My close friend and I like "gender-fucked shiny-sexual". She's gender-queer (accepts biological sex as fact but isn't femme and sonetimes crossdresses) and pansexual. I'm gender-queerer (accept biological gender as fact but don't identify as masculine or femme) and asexual but demi-romantic (I happen to be in a…

Posted as a response to someone else. Here's the school I taught at in San Francisco. This is a school of 400 student, almost all low income.

Here's the school I taught at last semester:

I love those. My mom used to stuff them with Monterey Jack cheese and lightly breaded them. We ate them served over rice with an oregano tomato sauce on top. Delish. I make those now when I can get my hands on chayote.
