1. There was a fight yesterday...right by my door...did I break it up? Nope! I'm not breaking no fights lifetime mantra is still in full effect!

1a. Fight*....there were geeks holding each other by the throats because one boy pushed the other boys brother...

1b. I called for help...I didn't know my teacher friend intervened otherwise I would have pulled her out of it lol

1c. Captain Oblivious came at the end...surprise.

2. I called a parent to notify her that her daughter may be going to summer school. She was like "oh no!"...ma'am your child failed the first semester and has not done a lick of work this semester AND failed both STAAR tests. I know my call wasn't surprising.

3. There is an 8th grade dance on Saturday. The 8th graders have labeled it "prom." Idk...why but it's a thing.

3a. Girls have bought dresses including getting fitted, taken days off to get nails and hair done.

3b. Girls have done "promposals" to people they were already going with...why?I'm not sure. The promposals were yesterday and today...but the dance is tomorrow. You should secure the bag way before this time.

3c. I need to tell them not to ask these raggedy boys nothing every. Not promoting gender roles but these boys are literally raggedy. They told me they were going to get all of their dance stuff on Saturday at 4...the dance starts at 6.

3d. Girls were hating about people getting promposals. You're mad because nobody asked you BUT if we got that self-esteem built up then that anger wouldn't be there...

3e. Girl from #2 is bringing a limo...to this dance. In the cafeteria. She is charging people $60 to ride with her.

3f. I could make a post about kids not having a pencil but having money for all of this shenanigans but these kids mostly have their stuff. I will say I wish their parents had this much energy for some tutorials or something.

3g. My kids were disappointed that I would not be attending the dance. I had every intention of going until the date was revealed to be on my wife's birthday. I love having fun with my kids BUT I have a life outside of school and I need to put as much effort into those things as I do my work.

4. IF YOU KNOW SOMEBODY THAT WANTS TO DO SOMETHING ON THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL...HOLLA AT ME!

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...
