(During 1st Period's exam this morning, from a girl whose grade hovers between the dimensions of perdition and "passing by the skin of my teeth only by God's grace"):
"This exam isn't fair. It's on all the stuff we read this year."
You got it sweetie. Funny concept, that.

FOR THE STRAIGHT WAY WAS LOST."
"Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel / And shining morning face, creeping like snail / Unwillingly to school." - Jaques, As You Like It
(Oh yeah... the views expressed here are my own, and not necessarily those of my school or school district. Thought you would like to know.)
"...I came to myself in a dark wood,
FOR THE STRAIGHT WAY WAS LOST."
About Me
- School Master P
- North Carolina
- I'm a born and raised North Carolinian, and live in the east-central part of the state. My average, but deviously ambitious family includes my one lovely wife , my one darling son (8 yrs. old), and (most ambitious of all) a no-doubt mean little girl born in October (surprise, surprise!). I have completed seven years of teaching high school English. I spent my first five years of teaching at a small rural school, and am now teach at a much bigger school in a bedroom community several miles outside of Raleigh.

my knee jerk response is along the lines of, "gosh, I thought about testing you on the books we hadn't read, but that REALLY didn't seem fair."
That may be why I'm not a teacher. I don't know that my mouth would have stayed shut.
Well, trust me, a smart mouth can come in handy for a teacher - in fact, I find it a nice weapon to have in the arsenal as long as it isn't overused. But the problem with this girl is she's such a ditz (aided, I'm afraid, by certain substances), that my smartie comebacks go over her head.
On this occasion, however, I didn't have to say anything, because the rest of the class cruelly mocked her. Sweet.
