I like your hair today, Miss. {pause} It looks like man’s hair and woman’s hair. {pause for critical appraisal of my hair} It looks good.

Like Michael Jackson…
Me: “…you know, I’m white.”
Student 1 (joking): “No, Miss, you’re black.”
Me (sarcastically): “Of course!”
Student 2 (eyes wide): “You’re black, Miss?”
Student 1 (won’t let me speak): “Yes, she is! Can’t you tell!?”
Student 2 (sympathetically): “Oh. You have a skin disease like Michael Jackson…”
You know what’s fun?
Blasting “A Little Less Conversation” on repeat just so I gesture to random passing cars: ‘Come on, come on Come on, come on…’ and then wildly head bob and arm dance through ‘Don’t procrastinate/don’t articulate/Girl it’s getting late/gettin’ upset waitin’ around… ‘Just so I can scream out (raising my hands with 🤘🤘) ‘OWWW!!’

But do you know what’s *really* fun?
Spending two full school days with the same 20 freshmen. Half the time we will be testing, half the time I will be desperately holding onto my sanity.

The reason for his academic success
This is part of a worksheet that I give my classes at the beginning of each semester.
Many of their answers crack me up – this is a favorite! 😂
The Ultimate Sacrifice
This morning I broke a nail helping a kid try to fit all his papers in a folder. I looked at him and said, “See!? This is just one of the many great sacrifices I make for you.”
Quote of the Day
I prefer the poem [lyric version of Krizz Kaliko’s “Unstable”] because I like to see the teacher rap.
