When I get home from school:

someone will be here.

I have to polietly disagree here.

I absolutely love to teach and because I’m enjoying it: I feel like I’m not putting “energy” into it. When I walk around for 4 consecutive hours in circles in a silent classroom: my body and mind is drained. I find it way more exhausting than teaching.

What are your thoughts, testing teachers?

I have no idea what just came over me BUT:

I just had a burst of energy and cleaned my apartment.

On a Tuesday night.

After a whole day of testing.

What?

Dear OhMuffins,

world-shaker:

I heard it’s standardized testing week and you might be a little stressed. There, there…

2-hours of Common Core training for institute I’m leading this summer.

Guess who’s writing on a crinkled folder they found at the bottom of their “teacher bag”? THIS unprepared teacher. So classy.

End-of-Grade READING test today:

“They’ve totally got this,” said their reading teacher.

I told my students to sleep well tonight SO:

Going to bed at 8:30pm is totally acceptable.

North Carolina teacher suspended for yelling at a student about Obama -

North Carolina. We need to calm down all this amazing press.

But, seriously: I have my political beliefs and I’m passionate about what I believe in. But, THIS? This is exactly why you don’t talk politics.

Also — this is worth the 9:20 watch for:

her poor, poor classroom management
the language permitted in her classroom
the utter disbelief you will feel about how she’s acting in front of her students

I’m looking at you.

I find it ironic that:

Mark Zuckerberg got married this weekend.

In other news: I’m going to do Blackout Poetry with my students after their testing.
