Teenagers are tricky little bastards. I try and learn their language as much as possible.

I am a high school teacher. I have to keep up with this stuff or I inadvertently agree to things that I shouldn’t. “Hey miss are you gonna Netflix and chill this weekend?” “Oh for sure.” Now I just told my students I’m gonna do sex. Now I say “all the Netflix, nine of the chill.”

So. Did. I.

I’m also grading papers!! And laugh/crying at what my kids wrote. Good times.

These ideas have rocked my world and I am now in amazement. And hungry.

I hair started teaching and had a much similar problem. All of my clothes were college class appropriate but not professional. I work in a low income school and felt weird wearing slacks/dresses/suits. I'm wearing blacks casual slacks and blazers or cardigans. I can dress it up or down depending on what kind of top I…

Speaking as one, yes there are. The truth is though that we have to teach to the test. Our standards are written based in what will be on the test, we teach to it. It is actually what is required of us. Some of us try really hard to impress upon our students that there are multiple versions of history and that often…

That’s exactly the thing. I don’t want to live in an echo chamber. If I’m not thinking and wondering then I am not being stretched and growing. Plus there have been times that I thought I was really right about something and then had to defend it and went “huh maybe I’m wrong.”

My ex-husband’s dad used to refer to things like laundry or dusting as “women’s work” all the time. I would look confided and retort “am I supposed to be using my vagina to do that?” I know they were glad as hell when I divorced out of their train wreck.

My dad told me “if two people always agree on everything then one of them doesn’t need to be there.” My dad was a boss ass bitch.

He is an American citizen because his mother was an American citizen, despite the fact that he was born on foreign soil and his father is Cuban. Interestingly it would have been the same fact for President Obama had he been born in Kenya like so many people believed. Obviously Obama was born in Hawaii, BUT EVEN IF HE…

If this is a sincere question then the answer is simple: Bernie “I’m a fucking socialist and don’t run from that label” Sanders.

Precisely.

Hahaha, I'll tell them but telling 22 year old college kids to not be assholes is a little like asking them not to breathe. The good news is they grow out of it!

Omg I never thought of that. It would taste like Mexican hot chocolate. Now I'm def gonna have that this winter.

Well you clearly aren't friends with any 22 year olds...

Yes! Internet high five.

I'm in!! It won't be winter here for about five months so I'm totally on board with this plan.

Fireball isn't any different really from Hot Damn or Aftershock or Goldschlager right? I mean those were the cinnamon shots of my youth. Same concept different name I think.
