A teacher say: "Don't worry about her getting married. It's not unusual in her culture. Besides, she's different; she's got white girl values. She wants to go to college and make lots of money." This one makes me grrr.
MANY male students say: "I'm a grown ass man." This one makes me laugh MY ass off.
A student say: "Why do you like to teach us bad kids, Stacy? Don't you want to be teachin' kids at regular high schools?" This one makes me happy and sad at the same time.
A student say: "Isn't it funny that I haven't met your husband yet? I feel like we're such good friends and I don't even know your husband." This one makes me smile.
Starbucks server say: "You work at an alternative school? Ain't those kids bad?" This one made me shake my head. To which I responded, "They're really cute."
Two students smoking weed in front of school.
One to grow on: Alternative school is similar to Juvenile Hall, yet so different. Eh, kids are kids.
