1. I'm not sure if it was due to Harvey or what but we have not had observations all year. After the STAAR test it's unheard of to do...so WHY DID THIS MAN(Not Captain Oblivious) ASK IN A MEETING WHEN ARE DOING OBSERVATIONS???!?!?!? Now we're getting emails about lesson plans and activities...and I really want to run up on ol' dude...like man we have 26 more days of school not including testing and finals why didn't you let this ride out?

2. Boyfriend and Girlfriend got caught in the restroom. The second time in two weeks...somebody's gonna have a baby!

2a. Don't want to get caught at home but don't mind getting caught at the school house? Now a 1000 people know your business instead of the few people in your family.

3. My school district is open-enrollment but if you are any issue you are getting the boot.

3a. Parents if you are using another address or on transfer tell your kid to act accordingly.

3b. Also, tell them not to tell the world ya'll live out of district either.

3c. Ya'll really be driving far to take your kids to school!

4.Two of my students want to go to UT so bad. They diss UH and all of that and I keep telling them UT is not what you think. They talk about football and the stadium and stuff like that. I want to prep them for the culture shock but I don't want to dampen their dreams either.
Boy 1: "You saying I can't have white friends, Mrs? I can have white friends."
Boy 2 (His dad is an alumni): "I went to the campus two weeks ago and I saw 20 black people"
Will they be your friend? Will they like you? Those 20 black people out of a total of what? I want to keep the Black Boy Joy up but I don't want the need to keep that inflict Black Boy Pain later on.

February 6, 2019 1. A/C Update: The fan is busted. It is from 1995. I was in kindergarten. The district is trying to find the company and manufacturer to replace parts. They are currently diverting air from the other fan to our hallway. If that doesn't work we will be out of our classrooms for a week. 1a. The first time I'm glad my room has no windows. Luckily it will be cooler then freezing for the rest of the week. I hope it doesn't affect the heat...although I do enjoy a  good room temperature building instead of HELL degrees. 2. Two fights in the morning. One at breakfast. The other in 1st period. Who wakes up wanting to fight? 2a. I was luckily not a witness to either of these altercations. I would have kept on brand and not broken it up. Just screamed for help. 2b. It was boys fighting and it is easier to get them to stop than girls...I probably still wouldn't but it's the thought that counts right? 3. I love my nerd class. They let me play Blue ...

Today was...a wild one... 1. Kids were caught vaping and a young drug dealer was almost apprehended. I swear they are like Carmen San Diego. You have them and then you don't. 2. The Superintendent came into my classroom during the last period...last 20 minutes. I had been forewarned about this but still... 2a. My kids were doing what they were supposed to...for the most part. 2b. Of course he spoke with the worst possible student...BUT THEY HELD IT DOWN THOUGH! 2c. He was pleased and that is really all that matters. 3. Education is real wasteful if you think about it. We never truly stay with any one thing long enough to get what we need from it. It's like 'oh you're not using it, so we're (THE MAN) is going to take it away." When really it takes time to incorporate a new system into your curriculum. I understand wanting results but make a pilot program before you get to throwing things away. 4. I strongly dislike when people send me emails abou...

1. Ya'll the A/C is out in my entire hallway. Texas is not experiencing the polar vertex and it is particularly balmy. Pray that we all make it during this trying time. 1a. I always tell the kids to tell their parents about these issues so they can complain. Do they? NOPE! But as soon as they take something out of context here comes mom with with all the emails and phone calls. 1b. Hell, I should get my mama to call! 2. My students have an odd issue with attention and personal space. When I was in school I left my teachers alone. Beyond the general curiosity, gossip and the fact that people lived next to my teachers, had siblings that could tell you stories AND we would go as groups to our teachers houses....anywho...I really didn't care enough but these kids? Parents love on your children! 2a. They have to say hi, every time you see them. If you tell them to leave you alone, the more they try to get in your space. 2b. You tell them not to touch you. They try to hug...
