I keep telling people that since I am in my mid 40's, anything they wish me to remember will require me to forget something I have know for a long time. Between all the crazy stuff running around up there I still have to deal with the voices (IE its not time for bed, theres still beer left)

So who thinks the women are going to kick butt on Survivor this season and get rid of the last man standing tonight??

OK, I get to go on about the crazy day I have had. First, I want to emphasize that I am typing with my soft cast on, so if there are typos, excuse me.

With that said, we had one hell of a day at school. Three idiots (two repeat 9th graders and one 10th graders) thought it would be a good idea to get their cell phones out in class and call the office with a bomb threat! It was 90 degrees outside and no afternoon sea breeze, as it was morning. Well, after two hours of sitting/standing outside, we went back in, but not until 4 different parents told me to F off (and they said the whole word) because I would not let them take their children in their cars. Three different ones managed to get into rolling cars and leave with their parents.

After we get back, we have lunch. What a joy, as I have lunch duty! There was a fight during the first lunch and 5 boys decided that they would chase each other across campus, ramming into me in the hallway (hence I am wearing my soft cast because guess where they rammed me?) and bowled over the poor culinary arts teacher as she was waiting to use the vending machine. She definitely got the worse end of the stick there. Now everyone is worried about workman's comp.

Then, after school, we had another fight in the bus loop. I didn't get to leave for a while....I think regular ed is calling my name again...this is nuts!

Sounds like the typical end of the school year shenanigans!!! Damn shame that kids are getting so bold.....we would cut up at the end of the year...but never did anyone harm a teacher...we wanted to, but we never did....now their cars were a different story....but nothing permanent!!!

 

[AuburnJen92]

We have more hoodlems than most HS's, so the parents telling me to F off was not unexpected. We all know where the kids get their attitudes from....it is sad really...

skipping and pranks i can handle, but nowadays, bomb threats are just not cool

I could never have been a teacher. I would have killed someone.

I could never have been a teacher. I would have killed someone.

Amen.

We are fortunate enough right now to be able to pay for our kids to go to the local private school, so you don't have that craziness because people are paying to be there and they care. I don't know what I am going to do when they go to junior high, it scares me. Some of the things I have heard from my uncle, who teaches in our district, make me blush. And my husband was in the Navy, I have heard and seen A LOT.

I don't know if he could even scoop ice cream.

 

[auntie]

Jen...sorry to hear about your day...hope the arm is okay.

Bomb threat....were the kids arrested? No prank here. Zero tolerance. Here in NY post 9-11 ....that sort of thing is taken VERY seriously. They'd be in jail for sure.

Wow, am I glad I don't have to fill up my truck very often. It was moving day for my son. Out of his apartment in Waco back to Dallas till he gets a job. Pulled a 12' Uhaul down and back. Filled up when I got back. $4.09/gal for diesel, $100.66 to fill up. I much prefer the 8-9 gal fillups for my Saturn with unleaded at $3.50/gal.
