*turns on the ventilation fans and loads Done the Impossible in the DVD player*

*breaks out the 3 foot tall glass hooka and loads it up with all sorts of tasty goodness*

*puts a hot coal on top of the bowl and sits back to puff merrily*

hehehe, I was joking with someone just this weekend about this very subject.

What does one Southern housewife with PMS plus a soon to be arriving Browncoat houseguest equal?

(Well, ok. You are Southern, Jimi. I am "Southern-ish.")

Ironically, Ami did all the major cleaning and such AFTER Magda left. I did get to go home to a clean house last night, though, albeit a lonely one.

LA29!!!!!!!! *GLOMP* Howya doin' Lassy?

So I have a question for all you lovely (and manly if there are any) Teachers out there.....

Last week my littleone came home with a note in her bag from her teacher. It stated that my Daughter had an incident in class. The incident was that during Math her pencil broke and that the students know taht they are not allowed to use the pencil sharpner during Math because it is a distraction. She said that my daughter started to cry when she was not allowed to sharpen her pencil but was given one from the teacher and that she caused a distraction when her classmates asked her what was wrong and she explained that she broke her pencil and was not allowed to sharpen it.

She is a brand new out of college teacher so I am assuming that she is taking advice where she can get it for classroom rules but ......

First off WTF! Since when is sharpening your pencil so that you can do you work a distraction?

Secondly, she is working with first graders. Most of them are 5 and 6 years old and have their first ever very own pencils so they are a little possive of their knew school tool and want to use it.

I am debating approaching this new teacher and giving her a piece of my mind (or maybe writting a letter to the Dean of her school) but am unsure if this is wise.

Any input?

Kelkil, it sounds to me as if this teacher had a class at some time get out of control with everyone stabbing each other and sharpening pencils for half an hour until they were tiny stubs and has developed a complex about it. The rules do seem overly strict and to call such a group of events an 'incident' is ridiculous (if that were the extent of the 'incidents' I had to deal with my life would be bliss!)

I would recommend not going in guns blazing. Seems to me that this teacher is feeling insecure and thereofre asserting her authority whenever she can. If you question that authority she will probably react very defensively and possibly make life harder for the kids. Give your mini-browncoat lots of reassurance that it's no big deal and try to find ways around itin future (maybe get her lots of pencils?!)

It's lovely to see your protective hackles raised but these things tend to blow over quickly and I have found that standing up to silly rules usually tends to be more trouble than it's worth. There are always ways around them (did I mention they blocked Google Images at work, making lesson prep harder? I accepted this and have installed rerouting software that lets me do what I like! If ever anyone finds out about this I'll apologise and then find another way around their obstacles!)

Yeah, I had a teacher like that, I hated him. He also gave me saturday school for being late, because they wouldn't let us out of the lunch room till everyone was quiet.

My music teacher sent me to the corner after hiccuping at the end of a song once. He thought I made a weird noise on purpose or something.
Bastard...



*sips a nice old mountain dew*
