1. I HATE FORTNITE!!! I love video games....I can't stand it. I hate hearing about it all class period. I hate hearing about rocket launchers, gun cannons and rankings and who's trash and who's not. Kids really know how to run something into the ground....and they are late! Fortnite came out in the summer. I had to sound like the Grandma and say it's called fortNITE not fortDAY so shut up!

2. Testing Season is upon us. I just had that long ass faculty meeting about testing. I've decided as another educational venture I am going to privatize test administration because this shit is for the birds.

2a. I mean really...teachers really say all the extra shit we have to do but we never talk about testing. At your job do you ever have to administer a test that you can't talk about or know about until months later and if a person taking the test flubs up on any thing YOU lose your job and license? Hmm...must be nice.

3. "I don't like that person like that" update: The ' I don't likee' got rolled up by a the Likers crew and interrogated about why they don't like this person...like that.

3a. The Liker really has some personal things going on so this is definitely more than unrequited love and I don't want her to blow up over this...but I'm going to be like 'Sis, there will be a million girls to choose from. High School? Easy. College? Abundant like germs. After college...that well drys up real fast.

3b. This girl also plays softball...so she will have a whole team literally to choose from.

4. I'll extend my hand again...there are some girls at my campus that need their esteem produced in positive ways so if anybody wants to volunteer please do. I'm sure this is the same at a campus closer to you as well. Middle school girls especially need it as they are like the middle child for real.

4a. Also, I'm not passing the buck but the more mentors the merrier and school has a lot of moving parts where I can't just sit down and get these girls where they need to be

4b. The boys need it, too!

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...
