1. *Sigh* Who's going to tell this mom in my email that there is no need for a conference about her child's grade because he lied to her about attending tutorials for the past month and simply does not complete his assignments? Children setting parents up for failure.

2. I cannot meet with that scatter-brained "lady" anymore. Her mind is all over, she's throwing off my meticulously made pacing guide for no reason..."my kids don't get it so I'm moving the test back a day."

2a.How ma'am???? You're saying your kids didn't get the first part of the lesson....the basic part. How did you just keep on teaching the rest of the unit but your kids don't "get it?"

2b. If your kids don't understand it then why do your scores look on par with the other teachers? Is it oochie wally or one mic???

2c. I breakdown a lesson, give hints and tricks. Then she teaches however the hell she wants to...ok.

2d. Ask for help and pay attention instead of telling me about this terrible husband and these bad ass kids. Crying because your kids teacher is calling you about these said bad ass kids.

3. My kids held it down for my walkthrough they are the real MVP's!

4. I have finally gotten to use my iPad and AppleTV to teach like the Certified Apple Teacher that I am. *humble brag*

5. I love this time of year personally but professionally this shit is for the birds. Just getting shit thrown at you left and right...*cue Drake's Nonstop* Teacher Remix

Education, fuck these teachers up!

Look, I just flipped a switch (I'm literally losing my mind)
I don't know nobody else that's doin' this ( I really don't. All my friends are out enjoying life)
Bodies start to drop, ayy (teachers calling out all the time)
Now they wanna know me since I hit the top, ayy ( please don't tell me how great of an asset I am then give me more work. That is not appreciation)
This a Rollie, not a stopwatch, shit don't ever stop (just when you think you're caught up...another email, meeting, somebody crying at your door, meltdowns...)

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 ...

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...

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...
