Whoa! The staff around me is in a global bad mood. I checked, the moon is at half. So, why do we seem to have so many grumpy people around here? The sun is shining, my Desert Lilacs are in full bloom and just beautiful, my Joseph's Coat roses are a mass Read More...

1. I live in Arizona and I hear on the news last night that the legislature is considering a bill on allowing college kids permission to carry legal concealed weapons to school. There was also a K-12 bill but parents had a cow. I am still having a cow! Read More...

I am now in the process of getting students from other teacher's classes. Parents are upset with my team members and are requesting their students to be in my room. These are the same parents who did NOT want their children in my class in the beginning Read More...

Well, I haven't written for several days because I have been trying to keep one student from attacking another. Literally! On Friday, I had to stand between the two students to protect one from being stabbed by the other with a pencil. I got him out of Read More...

"I, I, I,...Me, Me, Me," This is the motto of Monkey Poop. She can't see anyone else, just herself. But, however much I have come to dislike this person, I kind of feel sorry for her too. She is such an idiot. She did not have her poop together at the Read More...

My very special little boy was a mess during our lock down drill today. He shouted at students that he hated them, he shouted at me, he stuck his tongue out at kids and if they returned the favor, he shouted at them. He went on and on and if it had been Read More...
