SPRING BREEAAAKKK!!
I was the first one out today. Not really because I cleaned up my classroom and had to feed my snake.  My kids were not as pumped about Spring Break as I am. It was a little bit embarrassing but who the fuck cares cos it’s SPRING BREAAAAKKKKKK!! SKYDIVING TOMORROW. FUCK. I LOVE YOU ALL.

Teacher Vomit Issue #2
Teacher  Pet Peeve: When a student says ‘damn, you talk too much. I know this stuff already.’ Then you let them do active practice to show you and clearly the little fucker does not know half shit. Um..i’m pretty sure you’re here because you failed biology last year. Want a re-do?? Learn to listen.  A student who had not been in class for several weeks shows up one day and...

Getting called out on my bluntness
Tfa likes to do these things like appreciation days. I was asked to write a note to this one person. I really have little to nothing nice to say so I wrote ”hi…you’re kind of aggressive but I guess you’re okay. Thanks for holding Gompers down.”.
