1. It's Friday. My energetic Friday feeling never came. I felt a small joy that I would not have to wake up early or could go home and rest but no fun energy. I stayed until 4pm doing work. Yuck!

2. So that "lady"...said she couldn't come to our annual department fish fry...before we even set the date. She said she didn't have anyone to watch her kids. Her kids are teenagers.

2a. Her husband would also be in Japan. We said bring the kids. She said the kids never want to go anywhere with them...ma'am! Your lies suck! You are an adult....just say you don't like black people and keep it moving lol

2b. She teaches her "loud" class with a headset microphone like she's doing an infomercial...

3. A parent asked me about what do I mean by tutorials...

3a. Odd situation. Girl from the African continent ( she's said about 15 words the month that we've been in school. She just points and nods. I've dealt with selective mutes before so I keep it moving) her "guardian" is a white woman (nothing wrong with that). I'm just confusion currently and need some background because I consider culture heavy when dealing with parents.

4. Teacher-parents....they can be chill other times a mess. Just emailing nonsense on company time. Hire a tutor and keep it moving.

5. I don't understand parents that feel the need to park their car to drop off their big ass middle school or high school kid rather than just going through the car rider line.

5a. I also don't understand these kids getting out of this car and walking in the middle of the parking lot.

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...
