Stupid walrus.
I sometimes can't believe I watched this show.
Find the video that set this to clips of "In the Mouth of Madness". Now that's messed up!
In other news, I discussed my observation with my principal. I did well! That was almost surprising, since I was virtually flying by the seat of my pants. The trick is, I did well on every teaching aspect she did observe, and could not be critiqued on those that simply did not take place that day. No fault of mine, just the luck of the draw. I have good teaching style! But she seems pleased, the kids seem happy (despite the report cards today), and now if I can make it through the next 48 hours or so without parents calling me "Oh noes! Little Timmy has a B in Drama, how can this be?!" yeah right lady. Timmy the human gas molecule, she means. What I mean is, things will continue to be just fine so long as I don't have to explain the rampant high-B grades. None of my students are failing! This is a problem?
I mean... when I was a kid, C stood for "what They were generally expecting from most everyone". It stood for AVERAGE for a reason. Getting lower than that was of course not good, but there's a reason why the word 'overachiever' isn't applied to everybody! My own personal code of conduct (oh, and Conduct used to be a letter grade, too!) wouldn't allow myself to come home with anything near a C, maybe a B if I was slacking off. A's were the norm. They're just not the norm for everyone. If you wind up a straight-C student, and that's all you can manage to do grade-wise, then it's not the end of the world. You could have other aptitudes outside the strictures of public school assessments, although you might want to keep an eye out for college scholarships early on.
Note to self, when starting a conversation with "I ate three pizzas" you may want to qualify the size of said pies. A trifecta of larges from Joey's or Marco's would most assuredly be way Off Program. A few the size of personal pita breads (which consist the crust) are really not a drop in the bucket. The orange cupcakes after them are the bucket droppers.
"Noooooo, I be fillin' mah bucket!"
