"seeing footage of the protests..."

I'm sure he'll look great in Cowboys blue. *sigh*

There's this terrific book called Whatever You Do, Don't Run. It's about this guy who was a tour guide in an African country (I want to say Botswana). There's an entire chapter dedicated to how a honey badger ran their camps for weeks (if not months). Everyone in the camp - even the native-born guides - made a wide,…

Teachers don't get paid enough, either, but that doesn't mean I can karate chop your kid in the throat.

I'm mindblown by the fact that she was thrown out of school for showing up at school...

I had a similar issue. I run our school's Instagram, which is surprisingly popular with the older students. Like I've explained to many of them, we (well, I) am not "snooping" or "looking" for stuff. But if something jumps out at me, that's your ass. I had a dad pitch a bigger fit about his precious son being…

school's Sexual Misconduct Board

Girl, she has four full-length mixtapes, and ALL of them are high quality. I couldn't even tell you where to start.

So. Much. Word! I just want to hear her voice, not that autotune crap!

Honkems gon' honk. What else is new?

Quick question: say a kid gives you a letter like that. You follow all the steps. Do you give the letter to the administration to cover your ass in case of any future incidences, or do you destroy it & hope that you've gotten your point across so you don't have to humiliate your student?

The best thing about Aaliyah was Timbaland.

YAAAAAASSSSS! to Bonnie Raitt. Amazing woman.

Reminds me one of my of pre-K kids from afterschool care. He's become a licker, which is better than when he was a biter. But NOTHING beats the time he paused in the middle of a zombie attack to wipe his nose on my pants. School got it on tape and everything.

You bring up a good point. The streets aren't the only place a woman can be harassed. I had a (black) dude pull my headphones off to talk to me at the grocery store, and I've had a (white) guy honk his horn, yelling at me from his car about how I was "fuckin' hot". Don't get me started about when I was walking by the…

I had a white guy haul off and punch me in the mouth when I was a senior in high school, and it turned into a full blown brawl. I'm 5'9" and built like a brick house, so I was able to hold my own, but it wouldn't have been much longer. Right up until we got sent to alternative school, not a single administrator…

I'll take whatever position I damn well please, but thanks for your concern.

It's cute that you think her syntax/grammar would be completely different if she was actually speaking instead of texting but I doubt that's the case.

Better not check any of my text messages, then. Hell, this woman is blowing an 11th grader. I think her grammar is the LEAST of our concerns.

Fuck outta here. Lots of subs (myself included) start subbing before or while they're going through their teacher training, and TONS of them are retired teachers.
