Yesterday was a fun filled day at good ol' THS. We had the neverending English II subject area test and a fun tornado. We had a blast! We didn't leave school until 4:45 because the buses were late getting to the school. I wouldn't drive in a tornado either. Here's a picture of what we saw:
It was pretty scary. While this thing was swirling around outside our school the kids' ADHD was swirling around on the inside. They had already been sitting in one place all day due to testing then a tornado shows up. Classroom control was thrown out the window and swept away by the tornado. It was ridiculous.
In wake of the tornado I figured I should probably go over the safety procedures with my kids. I told them the whole get on the floor and put your head between your knees speech they've been hearing since kindergarten. Well, one of my students felt that she needed to assist me in the safety drill. She told me that you're supposed to get under the desk if the building was on fire. *blank stare*
My cousin teaches in Memphis and I was sharing with her about the "dramastical" changes that needed to take place in the next few weeks and she had a similar story of parents butchering the English language. One of her students was apparently bullying the other kids, so they scheduled a parent conference. During the conference the parent says, "I've talked to her about bulletin these kids." Wait, what? Bulletin? I think you mean bullying. Yeah, there's a difference.
4 more Mondays!!! Oo wa! Oo wa!
