It's been a while since I've been on the digital journal, though not without good cause. Anyone who follows my wife's blogging probably already knows that our family has experienced a stillbirth last year with Emersen. More details can be found at: http:// ( Read more... )

I hadn't known of your wife's blog, but I'm sorry to hear of your miscarriages. Congratulations on the latest pregnancy, though; my prayers are with you.

As for crazy test answers, I'll get seishonagon in on this; not only does she have some doozies of her own, but she knows how to post them without getting in trouble. There are also some teacher-based LJ communities that are full of them, such as theyansweredit, that you might be interested in.

As said before, I'm so sorry to hear about the miscarriages - I know those can be devastating.

On the other hand, congratulations on the current pregnancy, and I hope all continues to go well.

As for violating regulations, I post strange answers from my kids at theyansweredit all the time. Just don't post details about which students it is, or give any other information other than "my stats class gave this answer," and you're usually fine. Oh, and friends-lock everything you post about your students - if you join a community and friends-lock it, only your friends-list and the community members can read it, meaning it's not made public for just anyone to read.

For when you're having one of Those Days with your classes, I can also recommend note_to_student, which is a great open letter community for teachers at all levels. It's grand.

I'd also point you at badass_teacher as a general teaching community.

I'm also sorry to hear about your health - I hope whatever it was you had stays gone from now on, it sounds like it could have been serious.

Btw, great to hear from you
