there's a chair in my head, on which I used to sit

1. So I had this dream that I had been rehired by my old school district, and when I went for orientation, there were a bunch of new teachers in my department, along with the old ones. And of course, even though I had worked there before, I didn't have seniority, so I didn't get a room. And then when I went to the planning room for all the ( Read more... )

dreams, comics, photos, viola

I'm pleased that you quoted Virgin State of Mind in your title. Such a great song.

Is Trans I Am the newest book by Dr Seuss? It should be.

Zombeh students are no fun and not recommended. The "stop trying to eat your groupmates" problem is just too disruptive to class time.

(Hi from onebrightroad's little sister, if that helps. I love your stuff.)

Who doesn't love a little K?

Yeah, that wasn't my typo, but that works too!

I do not like low octane fuel
I do not like it with a stool
to give it me would be so cruel.
It fills me with such awful fright,
I do not like it, Michael Knight.

I find that be best way to get through zombie teaching is to hit them with chalk filled erasers. :)

Hello, little sister!

I bet he trucks all night long, through state after state after state. Heavy duty, long haul trucking.

I'm sure there's a 'burning rubber' joke in there somewhere...

I typed this comment wearing my new bondage cuffs.

THAT IS WHERE I WENT.

LOLOR5. BE CAREFUL OF CHAFING.

NICE TO KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE DOWN THERE.

NO CHAFING - THEY HAVE POLYURETHANE PADDING. IT IS PURPLE.

I screeched (really) to a halt when I got to "team teaching at the high school level?" Because some of us are team teaching here at my COLLEGE. (Not me!)

Really.

We have 12 teachers team teaching 6 classes, with 8-12 students (yes, that's 4:2 or 6:2). Meanwhile, the rest of us are teaching sections with 16-19 students. (All English teachers, yeah.)

Can't complain too much - we're getting paid.

"Licious" is cute as hell.

I regret not reading other comments before I posted.

amand_r September 1 2009, 15:30:57 UTC

ONE OF A THOUSAND REGRETS!! LOLOR5.

amand_r September 1 2009, 15:30:32 UTC

I was thinking more like team teaching from middle school, where you have a science teacher, a math teacher, a social studies teacher, etc, and they all have the same 150 kids all day. That works in less tracked lower grades, but at the high school level? Scheduling nightmare.

"Licious" is pretty fun to say after you have drunk something refreshing, like Pimms and Lemonade. LICIOUS!

But I got waylaid in the lobby by something, possibly wild turkeys.

That sounds likely.

So, you're sort of ambivalent about teaching, am I right? XD XD XD

amand_r September 1 2009, 16:10:47 UTC

I guess dream me confirmed what awake me was feeling, yeah.

kwanalicious September 1 2009, 16:14:04 UTC

This is obvs your subconscious opinion about going back to teaching.

Wow, that truck is from Olathe, KS! That's like, 15 minutes away from my parents'.

amand_r September 1 2009, 16:22:16 UTC

Tianyu would have shit himself. The whole time we were driving behind this truck, I would have heard his acappella (sp) version of the Knight Rider theme song.
