You know science and math. You could save a million African babies!

Semester break in five days. Wednesday coming, we have two weeks to review, rest up, react in writing, reflect, remonstrate and ruminate with one another on the year to date. Should we consider this a Merry Christmas? I have engaged the following curriculum for my kids. Caitlin drives now, I got her... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I just have to talk about my experience in online dating, else I will pop. I think online dating is as similar to living real life as life itself. First you have a pool of women to choose from. Some leave a picture, everyone leaves a sort of bio, having answered several key questions about... Sign in to see full entry.

My Supervisor Met with ESL Teachers, Principal, Counselors & Me

You are not going to believe today. Well, I knew that Mr. Big was coming over to have a meeting with us, me and my partner and the tutor. But I have enough loyalty to the principal to tell her, so she and the counselor were there too. We had to make certain we had a global system for notating... Sign in to see full entry.

Where's The Christmas Cheer Indeed! Take a Look in There, Dude --

Today my class asked me if we were going to have a party. I responded that if they considered immersion in the three R's a party, then that's what we would have. I said, if you want a party, that you do at home. Over here you study. These guys are so far behind! But, truth be told... Wour... Sign in to see full entry.

Christmas has come early to the kingmi household...........................

Well, I certainly do not wish to jinx myself with a column about how happy I am. But I do not think it would either be out of line or an hyperbole to simply relay what is happening. Last night, as daughter #2 was asking me what I wanted for Christmas, Miss Bigbucks with her high-powered McDonald's... Sign in to see full entry.

Now Here's the response I got from the gal on my dating service............

I had hoped that this individual would respond by demonstrating her true identity, her true nature. I thought maybe she might give me a glimpse of her personality type. You know, phlegmatic, sanguinary, guilt-tripping, whatever? I thought perhaps she would turn all passive-aggressive and give me a... Sign in to see full entry.

Here's my response to a gal on my dating service...

I'm tall and fat. My kids hate me, I'm a mean teacher that the school district has simply not been able to get rid of for the last twenty-four years. My family has all but given up on me. They say I am selfish and self-centered. I have no doubts about their judge of character. They are all real... Sign in to see full entry.

So what, are you calling me, a loser?......................................

How do you tell a little kid, age fourteen, that they are not the only ones feeling the way they do? " You are no different than anyone else in this building, students, I daresay teachers and administrators! All of us are fascinated by the alternatives to our healthy living. The good people admire... Sign in to see full entry.

My Supervisor is six feet four and weighs roughly two hundred fifty pounds.

I appreciate everyone's concern about my supervisor. I know you are all waiting with bated breath to find out that I'm free and clear again, or that I've been canned. Frankly, so am I. But the truth of it is, that I am one of the brightest and most effective ESL teachers we have left (as well as... Sign in to see full entry.
