Out of the mouth of....

pre-teens!

Yesterday there was a soccer tournament for grade 4-6 students going on all day. I won't bother complaining about how it interrupts a day of teaching, but it is annoying when there are a large number of unsupervised kids running around after the bell rings.

School gets out before 3:30pm, but there were still kids running around until about 4:30pm. At 4:00pm I headed downstairs to get something. When I reached the bottom of the stairs I heard a few of my students talking. I walked up behind one boy (he did not know I was standing there) when he said, "Oh yeah, well you'll probably never lose your virginity!"

Lovely!

mom: I think they are starting younger and younger everywhere these days!

rookie teacher: Not much! But I have to admit - as much as they drive me crazy, I will owe it all to them when I write a book about the things they say and make my millions! (Well we aren't going to make it teaching, are we?!?! I bet all teachers could write their own book of crazy stories and interesting students quotes!

Why dont you write a book about your experiences and the things kids say. You will need all the money you can get when you have to look after your old parents and anyone else that needs looking after

Um Robyn...

Today I saw a 6th grade student with hicky's (sp?) I was shocked because a) HELLO! 6th GRADE! and b)I'm living in an alternate universe where 6th grade students get more action than I do.

Sick.

Well, just the other day I used a diffuser to dry my hair. No one is used to seeing me with curly locks so I had a few compliments today.

Anyway...

I had a prep first period, so while I was sitting at my desk a boy from my class walked in...

"I'm sorry I'm late, Mrs.C_____..." Then he looked up at me, "...Woah, Mrs. C______..." (then looked me up and down, and nodded with approval)..."nice hair!" He kept nodding his head and looking at me.

I politely said "thank you" and sent him to music class. I then went to the washroom to wash that nasty feeling off me! The kid is 13 and in grade 6...hormones are flying high, but I don't want them near me, thank you very much!
