February Randomness

I have had so many ideas about what to write about today that now that I actually have the time, I don't really know what to say. I could comment on how these kids at this school are the kind of kids that can't be given anything. If you give them an inch, they will take a mile. That drives me nuts. For example, if I decided that I wanted to hand out Valentine's to the kids, instead of saying, 'thank you', they would say, 'why isn't there any candy in it?' as if that were a requirement for handing out valentine's. I guess my response could be, "I don't know you ungrateful brats. Probably in the same place as the Christmas gift you got me."

I mean, I guess that when I was in school, the teacher always did give us a Valentine. But it didn't ever have candy in it. I don't think it did anyway. But if it didn't, we would never have asked our teacher where the candy was. We were more respectful than that. Imagine that. I just called the students that I went to school with 'respectful'. That's a riot. They were mostly jerkfaces, but I guess they were respectful jerkfaces.

I get so mad at the behavior that we have to endure at school sometimes. My husband has to hear about it. He will bring up some point and I will always come back to the pitiful job that most parents are doing nowadays. Of course, those pitiful parents will say that it is our bad job as teachers that wrecks their children. Really? I didn't know that the 6+ hours a day we spend with your child was more influential to them than the 17+ hours you spend a day with them. Wow. We must really be something if we have that much clout with your children. Jerkfaces.
