Today was a better day. Good classes, got papers graded, got to watch the "don't flush your eyes with bleach" video...fun times.
Will's history teacher seems to be ... something. Perhaps misquoted, who knows? He keeps coming home and telling me things that she "said", such as "You shouldn't vote for Obama because he's going to raise taxes, and that's stealing, blah, blah" (at which point I pulled up Obama's website and read his campaign position on taxes) and "the people of New Orleans shouldn't get any monetary assistance because it's their fault they got flooded". Now, given that Will doesn't knwo the difference between what happened with Katrina and what happened with Gustav, I'm giving his teacher the benefit of the doubt. Still, I may blow an artery before this year is over.
I tihnk I need to get some info on McCain and Obama both--maybe just their websites, or their acceptance speeches, or something--and let Will read them. He's going to be old enough to vote in a year; he shouldn't be totally ignorant.
