[quote=需st铖y]As long as my kids never say, "You should see our rooms." no one will ever know. :D[/quote]

[quote=需st铖y]No, that's all my choice. I have a messed up back, but I'm too damn stubborn to care. Always have been. Always will be.[/quote]

[quote=tramp]why, did you move furniture without their permission?[/quote]

[quote=需st铖y]My family will kill me if they find this out. :p[/quote]

[quote=需st铖y][i]"Holy cat crap, Batman!"[/i]

I'm tired. If I move anymore furniture today, I may vomit.

[size=1]Is that too much info?!?[/size][/quote]

[quote=Sawman3][quote=tramp]No offense taken, sawman. :)

I actually do know a lot about what I teach. ;)

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.[/quote]
That was my point, or at least part of it--disinterest stems from underpay.[/quote]

[quote=tramp]too bad you can't give rep points in the Shoutbox. :)[/quote]
