back to school
Manana....I am sorta ready, I am always ready for kids, it's the parents that always make me uncomfortable, the enabling parents that have heard what an ogre I am...grrr.....The buzzword for the district this year used to be 'faithful replication', somehow that sounded too touchy-feely, now it has been changed to 'full implementation'. What it translates into is no movies, no fun fridays, no book buddies, goosestepping instruction. HAH,I am in the middle of proving a theory proposed in my master's thesis, that opportunity to read translates into reading proficiency. So, I think I will keep a low profile and keep doing what I know works.
My class makeup so far consists of 6 children that speak no english, one child with brain lesions that affect his motor control, one child with autism that they want to give one more year in mainstream before they put him in special ed; a girl whose dad is in jail and is prone to bullying, and a boy who has a hard time sitting in his chair. I say "Bring it on!!" I need something to keep my mind off loneliness and inadequacy.
there was this guy who had some kind of delusional fantasy that we would make a great couple, he used to live across from me, and left the sweetest note on my doorstep a couple weeks ago. But, snap back to reality, as cute and sweet as he is, I kissed him goodnight the other night and my mouth tasted like drugs......YUCK!!!!!
dammit, that would have been a nice story..
so... I had to brush him off with the george costanza it's not you, it's me, bullshit...serves me right.
