1. Mondays after an extended break suck...ain't no copies done, kids taking an extra day of vacay, you're pissed because it's Monday AND you have to see this wild kids talking like they couldn't have done this all break...ugh

2. Pro-tip: never stress about coming back from break just throw some shit together and wing it. Nobody will blame you nor care.

3. "Crips" tagged the entire school...with red spray paint...Is the unity truce still going on?

4. Things overheard today:
"My mom is bi-curious..."
"I lost my virginity over spring break..." then thought she was about to turn my room into a Zane novel...ma'am you have a 60 and did not do any of the work your mom requested because you were out here fornicating...she's also a liar so who knows if this is true or not (counselor referral because...I don't get paid enough to tell her mama that)

5. Any variation of "If I do ________ that will raise my grade" raises by blood pressure. Yes for the fifty-leventh time any grade is better than this zero that is currently here.

6. Me: "Please sit down."
Them: "Mrs...I was just..."
Me internally: "I don't give a fuck what you're doing. Did I ask what you were doing?"
Me outwardly: *Stares in disdain*
Them: "Ok, I'm just going to sit down now."

7. I have literally been prepping for interventions for WEEKS...Captain Oblivious comes in trying to do weeks worth of prep in an hour. Is clueless as to what we are doing. Also, has no idea of his athletic schedule...and doesn't care..Ignorance truly is bliss. The Math team looks good though...I'm a black woman propping up a black man who literally does nothing...My feminism..my womanism...are hurting right now. My -isms are under attack!!!

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...
