You clever, clever man! If it weren’t for the students, the parents, and the grading, teaching would be fun 🙂

Thanks for the morning chuckle! Welcome to the Dark Side ( we have cookies). Love the pizza analogy-may use it to respond to a parent emails. I’ve been called names! Told I was a terrible teacher, hated all kids, hated their kid, too easy, too hard, choose bad boring books, and told I was lazy! I’ve grown a diamond-hard shell and–oh, this is terrible–don’t answer those emails anymore.It’s all about the A, nothing more. Nothing I say or explain matters–just the A. Their child MUST GET AN A!!!!
As for this blog, I give it an A+. And instead of answering the 2 emails from parents asking for extra credit I will do what matters—figuring out a way to teach these kiddos how to use the rhetorical strategies they’re learning about to rule the world.

OMG! I laughed out loud at my desk as I read this. Been there, done that, and while I’m not in the classroom dealing with this at this time my husband (31 years a teacher) still is. He will laugh out loud too.
