Everybody was Kung Fool Fighting............................

Try Me....................

Ok so I was told my last post deep waters was a drag, so here's something straight from the classroom that should give you a giggle.
So today I am in my class trying to get through the day's lesson without having to write a single disciple, having to kick anyone out, or listen to any whining about how much work I assign.

Well we can't always get what we want and immediately I start hearing this total line of crap from Tommy about how he doesn't have to do any work because he's moving to Florida the next day. Now I know the kid's lying through his teeth, and I'm ignoring him. But after he insisted that I could call his "MOM" if I didn't believe him...well that's when I called his bluff.

I didn't have my cell phone in the classroom at the time, but another student offered hers up for me to use. Time to bust this kid and for him to get some work done. So he rattles off her number and I dial, and put it on SPEAKER....the following conversation ensues..........

Hello Mrs. Smith, Hi I am Tommy's teacher....he says he doesn't have to do any work in my class because he's moving out of state tomorrow, I wasn't aware of the move.

Insert hysterical laughing coming from the phone.........Ummm yeah my son is full of shit, I wish we were moving but we are not.....do you have me on speaker phone right now...........

Ummm yes I do actually.....

Well then Tommy can hear me as I tell him to get his lazy ass in gear and get his work done.

Yes I can assure you that he can hear you as well as the rest of my students...

Well Pardon my french but tell him to quit being a db and get to work, or he's gonna get his ass kicked when he get's home, and he'll have his phone, Ipod, television, internet, ps3 and his bed taken away from him till he gets his grades up.

UMMM ok,Thank you so much for clearing up that little misunderstanding I am sure he will get right to work...and have a nice afternoon Mrs. Smith

Click...................well I can see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree Tommy, your Mom likes to use Weekend words as much as you like to avoid work...Busted !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deep Waters



We all have it in us. The deep waters of pure darkness, some of us not even dare to venture, deny its existence and some of us are so painfully aware of it. There is something dark, scary, profoundly undefinable that lurks deep within us all. Could it be residual damage, energy and buried feelings from life? From simply living? To live, experience, feel, it all has to leave a mark somewhere. Tremendous events that shake us to the core--the core. Maybe that's where the mystery lies. If the universe is so vast that it could never be fully explored, if we are so feeble that we only use a small portion of our brains.... that unknown.... It will always be there. It exists so that the known can exist. It exists not to be discovered, but to remind us of how much we will never fully comprehend, even within ourselves.

Things I am sick of hearing about this week

I am sick of hearing about that douche bag John Mayer, he's such an attention whore, just go away dick head,  you are not all that!


The whole Michael Jackson thing, good god people yes he was talented, but let's face it the man was a complete social misfit and freak of a human being.

Tiger Woods, what can I say, it comes down to the fact the guy can't keep it in his pants, it's not our business what he does to fuck up his marriage, or how he's going about handling it. Let it go, and move on people nothing to see here, and I 'm just a little bitter he stole db Jon Gosselin's paparazzi spotlite lol.


Taylor Swift, I am just tired of hearing her music and about her, no offense Taylor but it's just the truth.

I am sick of hearing or rather seeing that damn trailer for that freaky Johnny Depp movie Alice in Wonderland, the more I see it the stronger my desire is to never want to see it.

Oh and lastly, I am sick and tired of hearing O'Bama blame everyone else for the economic problems in this country and his lame ass lines about how the economy is improving, basically it's like rubbing salt in our wounds here in the ghetto, the state with the highest unemployment rates in the country....yeah we're surviving really great here in the ghetto while you are dining on your private cheifs menu daily....I hope you choke on your steak............wait I take that back, then that Idiot Biden would be in charge. Never mind I'm hungry and I'm gonna make some ramen noodles............it's become a staple here in the ghetto.

Say What

Ever hear a song in another language and wonder what the English translation was? I do every time I hear Ava Maria, well you can easily translate song lyrics, articles and new reports easily with one click using Translia.



Transila.com is the perfect place to go to get great translation tools and help with translation issues. I’ve told you before how I’ve used the service to nab a student who was creatively translating his progress reports to his parents. Needless to say he was “busted” lol. Translia gives native, fluent and accurate translation and provides 24/7customer services and quick turnaround.

Those of you that are bi-lingual might want to check the site out also since they are hiring translators. You can earn money while enjoying teamwork and  make your own work hours. Work from home or anywhere, so put those bilingual skills to work for yourself.

Pure Evil I say



That’s right those girl scouts are pure evil, I’d call them the anti Christ, but lets face it they’re not interested in taking over the world, no they are  just interested in unloading their quota of those delicious addicting cookies.

It’s bad enough that you are sucked into buying the things from the neighbor kid, and just when you’ve forgotten about the 20 bucks you shelled out 6 weeks ago they arrive. Yes that is when the curse of the girl scout cookies begin. Oh sure you say, I’ll open one box and put the rest in the freezer for the next time I have company over. Sure, keep kidding yourself, cuz you know that it’s gonna end up being a party of one on your couch devouring those sweet little morsels of goodness.  But the good thing is that once they are gone, they’re gone, and you don’t have worry about an assault from the patriotic salesmen for another year.

Wrong! You see those little girl scouts as sweet and innocent as they look, they are driven little economic opportunists. You see they figure your stash will last ohhhh with a little self control on your part, a week tops. That’s when they go in for the kill, yeah that’s when they camp outside every Walmart, Kmart, Walgreens, grocery store, hardware store,  pool house, outhouse, chicken house….sorry turned into Tommy Lee  Jones for a second there…

See their like a drug dealer, getcha a little taste and they know you’ll be coming back for some more of those peanut butter patties, and thin mints. That’s right they can tell whose been using….and if they can’t hook ya on the way into the store that’s fine, cuz they know you are going to be thinking of their chocolately goodness the whole time you are shopping and your will power on the way out is going to be too weak to resist.  See I told you those little girl scouts were evil, you just didn’t realize it. Consider yourself warned, and don’t give into the mind control of the cookie!

Douchebag of the Week

Man Accused Of Tattooing Toddler's Rear End

1-Year-Old Girl Was Visiting Man's Home


LOUISVILLE, Ohio -- Police say an Ohio man tattooed the letter "A'' on the rear end of a 1-year-old girl visiting his home. Twenty-year-old Lee Deitrick of Louisville was arraigned Wednesday on a felony child endangering charge in Canton Municipal Court. Authorities say there's no evidence the toddler's mother permitted the November tattooing. It's not clear what the letter "A'' signifies. Deitrick's grandmother calls the tattoo "a wee-little hairline" and says there's hardly anything left of it. Louisville Police Chief Andrew Turowski says the tattoo is smaller than a dime. A message seeking comment was left at the office of Deitrick's attorney after the arraignment. Bond was set at $250,000. If convicted, Deitrick could face up to five years in prison. ___

The Ghosts of Posts Past

ALthough, I am not posting to my old blog, every once in a while I get some comments on it. Now the weird thing is that I've gotten two different comments on my Teach Your Children Well Post. Those of you who came over from the old site might remember this post as it well brought out the haters....so it makes me think someone one has linked once again to that infamous post somewhere. Anyway the first comment is as follows


Some...many of us that have been directed here believe that the remedy for the home...the school...the workplace...the culture globally...us individually is found paramountly when each "taste and see that the Lord is good". We'd be glad to minister God's grace to you and thus ask, "What are your prayer requests concerning the circumstances you have shared?".

Ok, well I think this is a first, I've never been proselytized on my blog before, not that it bothers me but well I guess its just a little odd.....anyway there was another comment a few days later...............

rosemarie has left a new comment on your post "Teach Your Children Well":

I got here via one of the links, haven't read the comments and don't intend to- only because I don't have the time. Just wanted to say that most of those 13 year old whores will make it to adulthood. Sadly some will not. A few of them will have teachers along the way that gave a rip and put them up against a wall and said, "What are you, stupid?? What the hell are you thinking??" And that will be a watershed moment, 'oh face' moment. Lights will turn on for her and she'll realize she isn't invisible or a throw away. Perhaps before actually becoming a whore she'll aim for something better.

Yeah, I speak from experience. And yes, I agree 100% that the real modeling of love, care and how to act belongs at home. But maybe one of those girls you see is salvageable and doesn't have anybody else to tell her how to act. For me it was an English teacher and you know what? She taught my 13 year old 30 years later. Man was she shocked to learn I had a degree in psychology, a career in law enforcement and was a conservative Christian. She really lost it when I told her I was overjoyed to have her teaching my kid. Guess in 35 years of teaching nobody had thanked her for changing their life.

Anyway, I have a fondness for teachers and wanted to encourage you. Some of it is worse than you know (all those years in law enforcement have taught me that) and some of it gets better. (I also got to work in student development at a university.) Hope you get to have a moment like my teacher and don't have to wait 35 years.


I don't know it kinda feels weird getting comments on such an old post, but the last comment kinda gives me a little bit of motivation that maybe I am making a difference in some of these kids lives, not just academically.

Epiphany

I know this is really a strange thought to ponder....but I've often wondered why I'm not an alcoholic. Not that I'm belittling the disease, or making light of it, but I often ponder how I've avoided sliding down that slippery slope. God knows I have enough baggage and issues that date back to the very instant I drew breath into this world. And I know there are days when all I think about is that I really could use a stiff drink when I get home.

But that's where it stops, somewhere between that drive home and walking through the door, my brain does some rerouting of thoughts and I don't pour that first drink. Is it the responsibilities I have that hit me in the face the minute I open the door to my house? Or some sudden epiphany that saves me from being my own worst enemy? Whatever the inspiration is I secretly surrender to it's calm voice that tells me ....this too shall pass my child, this too shall pass.

No matter how much you wish it's never going away.....Math that is

Once again I am having to call a parent meeting to discuss issues my students are having with math. It’s a simple situation that these kids need math help and because of class loads there simply isn’t enough one on one time.

Unfortunately because of the raised expectations of the state standards many of the parents can’t help their kids because they don’t have the skills to do so. When this is the situation a online math tutor  can be helpful. You can find some free online  tutoring and math help out there which are fine if you just need occasional help here and there.

But if you need more substantial help you can use a   online math tutor. In these scenarios the student works one on one with a tutor in a web environment on their home computer. Using a virtual setting both the tutor and the students  converse and work out problems together.This is a good site for math problem solver resources A nice way to find some  math help for yourself or you child without the hassle of searching all over the place for it.

Just go the fuck away

There are a lot of things in life that I just don't understand why people are attracted to them....WWE , Nascar, Monster Truck Jams just to name a few. But the one thing I really don't get.....the mass attraction to Lady Ga Ga. I swear if I hear that damn Bad Romance song one more time or see her wearing another one of her trademark "Flying my freakflag" outfits...I swear I am going to slit my wrists.

Rahh Rahhh Rahhh you SUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
