Today in class we covered the Bataan Death March. Starvation, beheadings, forced marches, watching comrades die, pictures of gaunt survivors, sacrifice, yanking teeth out of the head for the fillings, etc. Pretty sobering material.
Get done with 3 mins left and this kid who had worn his sunglasses the entire hour (which is okay here) goes "Hey Larrymoe!". I turn to him and he proceeds to tell me how "horrible" (direct quote) his life is because his bus driver wants the bus to not talk during the ride to school because every day they all just end up getting in fights. He then says that they don't listen to him and start whistling until he tells them to stop that and then they start humming. I said if it's that bad, why not not ride the bus? He then says he would but he doesn't have any money and he doesn't want to go out of his way to have to come get a horrible education from horrible teachers in a terrible school.
I should have paid no mind, but I couldn't take it. I said- You've got to be god damned kidding right? We just spent 40 minutes talking about the atrocities that your fellow Americans went through so you could be sitting here today and you're going to tell me your life is horrible because your bus driver wants you to shut up? Millions of kids across the world would kill to be in your seat right now. And you're going to sit there with those stupid ass sunglasses on your face the entire hour and tell me how you're oppressed and I should feel sorry for you? You can't be serious. He honestly looked at me shocked and said yes. I had to walk out of the room.

Flip the script on him but bring it back to history...."Yeah that does sound horrible, but can you imagine if it got so bad they chopped off your head?" Whether he says 'yes' or 'no' you just get back on topic and dont let him hijack the class. You got a lot of other kids to teach.

Subs that don't do anything that you wanted them to 100% agree with this one. My current district has/had some really great subs; however most were moved into full-time positions as they came open, so that only leaves us with pretty chitty options at this point. (Not all in my class, but in schools I taught in) Some of our subs greatest hits are: showing the Starz show Spartacus in a 7th grade class because "The documentary you left was just so boring, and the kids didn't like it." Telling a 6th grader that he would "beat his @$$ in the parking lot if he doesn't get to work" Attempting to buy weed off of a student Blowing whistles at kids who weren't working hard enough which caused one of our Autistic kids to have a complete meltdown that took our SpEd teachers 40 minutes to resolve. Ranting about, and I quote, "All the queers going to hell, along with any straight person that is friends with queers." (There was an openly gay student in that class) Last but not least; 40+ year old male sub told a 16 year old Jr "with a body like that, I bet you never have to pay for anything. When you turn 18 how bout you let me show you a good time?" Yeah, there have been some unceremonious firings take place by lunch

Ha ha - I still remember, 30 years ago as a student, being in AP History. Teacher out, no sub showed up. We were in the middle of watching some movie about the Revolutionary War. So we put the movie on, turned off the lights and watched it. About 10 minutes in, we hear this running in the hall, and the Asst. Princ. comes whipping around the corner into the room, was all "what's going on in here" - obviously someone had figured out class/no sub. We were just sitting there, pointed at the TV, and said doing our work. He was floored. Asked a few questions, and figured out we were actually behaving responsibly. So he turned off the TV, turned the lights on, sat down, put his feet up, and said "okay, let's chat about our troubles with the colonies" (he was from GB). Was a great class, he walked us through what their version of events was/is. One of those little HS moments/memories that sticks with you. gasp... and no one had to write 3 or 5 essays on a test, no one had to grade 3 or 5 essays on a test, there didn't have to be 75 differentiations made for kids who just aren't going to do the work anyways... and I bet everyone in the room took something from it.

We had a sub show up falling-down drunk one morning. She fell asleep then, when she heard that they'd called the cops, was last seen staggering down the road away from the school. It was on the news.

I guess that $55 a day only goes so far. I remember when I was growing up, we had a sub in Algebra class one day who invited some girls over to his house for strip poker and kept talking about how his wife didn't love him. We never saw him again after that...

My first year teaching this was our biology teacher. She would drive around school in a golf cart and drink vodka from a mtn. Dew bottle. One of the kids one day was thirsty and discovered that mtn. dew was not in the bottle and she got fired That old bird was one of a kind

How dare they. well to pick nits we were perfectly okay with the concept of paying taxes. what we didn't appreciate was the lack of voice in the say so of the how, when, in why taxes were levied. if by spoiled you mean that the Americans were thriving because of self governance and individualism, then yeah we were really spoiled.

Not to get all History Teacher on here, but our refusal to pay taxes following the FI War was only part of it. The Quartering Act and the Intolerable Acts were pretty bad and I doubt we would stand for such things today; nor would we accept virtual representation as it was proposed to the colonists. Moreover, when we sought reconciliation from King George he refused to help, and in fact declared the colonies in rebellion before we ourselves declared rebellion.

Which only lead to it spiraling more out of control. The whole thing began with, "what do you mean we have to pay a tax for the war you just fought?" Those Massachusetts merchants wanted no part of increased taxes in any form, represented or not. Everything else was fuel to the fire, as awful and wrong as they were, and they were. But it began with, "what tax" "why" "no we don't think so" That being said.... Murica!!!

The local newspaper has a video everyday on their website everyday that summarizes current national and local events. It's about 5-10 minutes long and seldom has bias so I think it's extremely applicable to show to my American Government classes.
I showed it to my class yesterday and for about the 30th consecutive day, a specific student made a smart ass comment about how the news is stupid and whined that the class shouldn't have to watch it. Ordinarily I roll my eyes at him or flat out ignore him, it is my belief he is attention deprived and I don't want to dignify his actions in front of an audience. However, I have recently been stressed out and am irritable. So when he made his stupid comments, I paused the video and told him in front of the class "if watching 10 minutes of the news is the worst part of your life, you have the best life of anyone I know", and proceeded to give him a bunch of return envelopes out of my desk from bills I owe, and gave him a quick lecture of how much baby formula, diapers, mortgages and gasoline cost, and to please swap places with me because I wish on my lucky stars watching the news for 10 minutes was the most stressful part of my life.
I normally don't fly off the handle like that and can count on one hand how many moments like that I've had in the classroom, but somebody needed to tell this kid how it is.

Then I proceeded to pull up Solomons highlight tape show him visual evidence of how they are nothing alike, nothing at all. It was probably over the line but I got my point across and the kids thought it was entertaining.

I always tell kids that the colonists were like their friends that ask for rides but don't give them gas money. It's an over simplification but it sticks.

I had a parent meeting Tuesday night and told them all "take the bubble wrap off your kids".
I don't care what ramifications I get. So far...nothing. Which means I'm probably right.
My rage? Athletic looking kids with a disinterest in everything...including sports. They have NO idea what they are missing out on in the prime of their lives.

I had a kid a few years ago during spring running his mouth in class about how he was going to come out and be a lockdown corner. Literally talked about it from bell to bell about how he was better than the other corners, our receivers sucked and the offensive coaches were "trash". Needless to say he came out for a day and was about the most worthless 150 lbs of flesh in the county in 1s vs 1s with receivers. That segment was filmed and I showed clips of him getting posterized almost every rep to the class with him in it the next day. One of those things you don't want to go to drastic measures to teach someone to watch what they say, but sometimes you have no choice. LOL

Literally talked about it from bell to bell about how he was better than the other corners, our receivers sucked and the offensive coaches were "trash". Needless to say he came out for a day and was about the most worthless 150 lbs of flesh in the county in 1s vs 1s with receivers. That segment was filmed and I showed clips of him getting posterized almost every rep to the class with him in it the next day. One of those things you don't want to go to drastic measures to teach someone to watch what they say, but sometimes you have no choice. LOL Funny. I was bragging to my receivers the other day about what a lockdown corner I am, and how I would stick those boys right there on the LOS if we did a one on one drill where I got to play press man (I'm about 235 pounds and slow as can be). A few of them thought I was being serious and wanted to accept the challenge LOL.

Ha ha - I still remember, 30 years ago as a student, being in AP History. Teacher out, no sub showed up. We were in the middle of watching some movie about the Revolutionary War. So we put the movie on, turned off the lights and watched it. About 10 minutes in, we hear this running in the hall, and the Asst. Princ. comes whipping around the corner into the room, was all "what's going on in here" - obviously someone had figured out class/no sub. We were just sitting there, pointed at the TV, and said doing our work. He was floored. Asked a few questions, and figured out we were actually behaving responsibly. So he turned off the TV, turned the lights on, sat down, put his feet up, and said "okay, let's chat about our troubles with the colonies" (he was from GB). Was a great class, he walked us through what their version of events was/is. One of those little HS moments/memories that sticks with you. And this is why we fought the Revolutionary War. Bunch of independent Americans just doing their thing, trying to get ahead, don't need no hand holding, but here comes some powdered wig royal gonna tell you how things are. #ungratefulcolonials

towards the end of a freshman government / geography class yesterday a freshman DL for us was talking about how good he is and is going to be "maaaaan ima be like aubrey solomon (the #1 DT in the country). This kid mind you can't do a full squat with 230 on the bar, can't bend, cant run, can't do anything. And I lost it.... "HEY what in the world makes you think you can sit there and make some asinine delusional comment about how you are in anyway similar to Aubrey Solomon? Are you out of your mind?? Then I proceeded to pull up Solomons highlight tape show him visual evidence of how they are nothing alike, nothing at all. It was probably over the line but I got my point across and the kids thought it was entertaining. Haha that's funny. I had a kid a few years ago during spring running his mouth in class about how he was going to come out and be a lockdown corner. Literally talked about it from bell to bell about how he was better than the other corners, our receivers sucked and the offensive coaches were "trash".

One of those things you don't want to go to drastic measures to teach someone to watch what they say, but sometimes you have no choice. LOL Both of these stories are dumb. Why even get mad at this stuff?? Kids are ignorant but they know when another kid is full of sh!t. More than likely the whole school already knew that both of those kids were morons

Do they send you to ISS"
