Chapter 6- Karen's New Teacher (finally some classroom management)

On Wednesdays, we wear pink. Jk. On Wednesdays, Lisa dives Karen and Nance to school. They tiptoe down the hall to their classroom to find a lady in gray clothes and gray hair. Karen immediately judges her and declares her mean. I immediately like this lady. She seems like she's

Karen immediately judges her and declares her mean.--That's nice. Don't know a thing about her but you already have determined she's mean.

She seems like she's going to bring in the order to this hot mess of a classroom.--About time. I'm sure the other students will be relieved. Like I said on my other reply, that'd get old if you had one person constantly doing shit she's not supposed to and she gets away with it.

But Ms. C lets us do whatever we want in the morning!--And that's probably gonna blow up in your face sooner or later. Might not be with this class but there'll come a day when you've got a class that you'll never be able to control.

Ha, like a sub is going to spend her own money on prizes for you.--It's not the same thing but that made me think of a teacher I had a couple of classes for in high school. One class was a Writer's Workshop class so it's not like the class had 35 kids in there. It was still an average size class. This teacher was nice enough that she bought Christmas presents for the entire class. I was heavy into nail polish and nail design back then so I received a kit that had 4 mini nail polishes and lip glosses. I'd never had a teacher do that before. She really was one of the kindest teachers I've ever had and I was glad I got to take two of her courses.

But Karen the self entitled little brat is acting like she's too much of a princess to clean.--Karen would be the type to purposely throw trash down in the floor if she saw a janitor around her. And maybe I shouldn't say that because Karen's not the only one to have that attitude. I think of all the times I'd accidentally touch gum under my desk. The little shits don't care that somebody else will have to scrape that mess off. I get that you might not be able to take your gum to the trash the second you want to throw it away. You could easily put the gum in some trash and throw it away the next time you get up. Or I think of the bathrooms when I was in school. People would intentionally shove a roll of toilet paper down the toilet and flush it. Not their toilets so it's not like they care.

Then she shouts at Ricky --And I do picture Karen having a voice loud enough enough to bend steel. Hope the poor kid's ears are okay.

Mrs. H scolds her and the class stares.--I'm surprised nobody fainted. Wait a minute....she's actually getting scolded?! Seriously? Somebody's actually gonna punish her instead of saying "Indoor voice"?

Mrs. H asks Karen what gets into her and asks her where her best manners are.--She doesn't have any.

Karen quietly passes out papers while she wonders what manner are.--Ha!

Later that day, Karen doodles in her science book.--What a fucking idiot! You can't doodle on scrap paper or your own notebook paper?! I remember the textbook inspections we had to go through at the beginning and end of the year. They'd charge you if there's stuff wrong with that book. I had to pay a few bucks because the book ends were worn. That's the only damage done because I sure as hell wouldn't draw or tear out pages in a text book that didn't belong to me.

Mrs. H yells at her and makes her stand in the corner. --Finally! I bet the entire class smiled and wanted to cheer.

We've been looking to replace her because she's always hungover in the mornings.--Although I can't blame her for that one. I'd drink if I had Karen in a class too. ;)

She and Hannie talk until Kristy calls her a phone hog--I just had to mentally remind myself we're dealing with Kristy 2.0 here. BSC Kristy doesn't really strike me as being a 'chat on the phone for fun' type of person.

When I read these books with my students they're so flabbergasted that two people couldn't be on the phone at the same time.-And I'm so old right now. That's all those kids know. It must really trip them out if they're watching something old and they see a character inside of a telephone booth.

Enjoyed the snark!

Thanks for reading! Aww you had such a nice teacher! Sounds like she really took time to get to know you all and what you like. I hope that's how my students remember me :)
