why, did you move furniture without their permission?
My family will kill me if they find this out. 
"Holy cat crap, Batman!"
I'm tired. If I move anymore furniture today, I may vomit.
Is that too much info?!?

But you know, I don't know if what you say is fair. I think teachers become disinterested (or appear so) because one, we're grossly underpaid and two, grossly overworked. I'm teaching 180 students this year. Six classes of 30 students. Try grading papers for that many kids! lus, we're forced to go to a ton of meetings when we should be planning lessons.
It's ridiculous and you cannot give the papers the time that is required to really help the kids. It's downright impossible if you want to have some kind of life.
And John -- standardized tests ARE killing the system. Seriously. It's absolutely ridiculous and should be changed now. Nice idea in theory, but not in practice.
And the kids go back on a Tuesday, it's just us teachers that are forced to start on a Friday. ugh.

too bad you can't give rep points in the Shoutbox.
Teachers should be the highest paid profession in the world. Sadly, it's not.

The pay-scale/education requirements for teachers is also harming the system --> most teachers anymore seem to be either disinterested or criminally unaware of the subject that they teach. (Not implying anything, ofc, tramp )

Just turned on CNN to see that they're going to have another faith forum. Really, I should just go ahead and move elsewhere already.
Standardized tests are killing the education system. I can understand them for getting into college, but see no reason for them in middle and high school.
Sorry, meant education system
