Okay, don’t wake me up | Chalk dust makes me sneeze

Chalk dust makes me sneeze. Life in a mid-American high school. Okay, don’t wake me up. August 27, 2009 – 1:33 pm. Being the cynical bastard that I am I was sure that my first geometry test would be typical. Sure, kids are turning in homework at a record pace, but they’re probably copying. Tested my kids today. 58 kids took the test. 30 A’s – including 7 100’s. Only 4 F’s. Let me sleep. Don’t wake me up. This is a good dream. Laquo; A college degree might not mean so much anymore. Keep up the good work!

While checking her mailbox she mentions to another teacher that she woke up with a headache and a little sick to her stomach. A secretary overhears the conversation and tells the assistant principal. The assistant principal goes to the teacher’s room and tells her to go home. Perplexed the teacher asks, “Why? Laquo; The suspense was killing me.

Chalk dust makes me sneeze. Life in a mid-American high school. Rain, rain, go away. Or at least Maurice needs to…. September 22, 2009 – 7:11 pm. Classes begin at 8:15. Plenty of time you would think…. About 8:40 my door opens and the janitor comes in dragging the water vac. He walks right down my center aisle, I’m still teaching. He stops right in front of the Promethean board, bends over, plugs in the water vac and starts sucking up water. While I’m still talking…. Not politically correct, but…. They&#...

Blank stares and the sounds of crickets…. 8220;C’mon, somebody give me a possible reason. It doesn’t have to be right, lets just throw out an idea.”. 8220;One reason… just one… anybody?

Thursday, June 30, 2011. 30 June 2011,. Well, another day down in Afghanistan. I'm spreading myself thin (for a guy my size that's an accomplishment) with the two hats I wear here plus my school work. Luckily I haven't been under any great pressures yet. The weather was much nicer today, cooler today and we had less dust. Be safe and have a great day! Dean aka Sgt Dub. Tuesday, June 28, 2011. 28 June 2011,. Life is good, the sun was visible and by noon we could make out the mountains surrounding Bagram A...

Chalk dust makes me sneeze. Life in a mid-American high school. They just don’t appreciate how much work I do…. August 18, 2009 – 2:35 pm. What was the biggest problem my students had last year? Not turning in homework. What did I do? I spent a lot of time this summer researching ways to improve on this aspect of teaching. I read a lot of research. I created forms for the kids to fill out. I had a plan. The little bastards weren’t getting away with it this year. First assignment: 65 of 66 turned in.

Chalk dust makes me sneeze. Life in a mid-American high school. The suspense was killing me. August 21, 2009 – 6:01 pm. I had to ask today. Again today, every kid turned in their homework. This is my 12th year teaching and this has NEVER happened before. 8220;I’ve never had classes that did their homework as much as y’all. What is happening that is causing you guys to do so well? And every kid that answered said, “I don’t want a pink slip.”. Really. That’s all it took? Posted August 21, 2009 at 6:51 pm.

I just finished watching the biggest loser. I used to be a much larger guy myself, so you would think maybe I’d be less judgemental? But really, if the girls have to wear a sports bra when they weigh in so should those guys. I mean, c’mon…. And if any cares, i’m personally down to 252. Rain, rain, go away.
