The kids who hang out in my classroom for lunch just found out I'm older than Amazon, Netflix, YouTube, and Google, then spent 10 mins jokingly roasting me.

Miss, what was the Cold War like?
Were you on the Titanic?
How'd you survive the Great Depression?
What's it like being older than Jesus?

Currently chaperoning a school trip and my kids keep telling me things they've learned so I'll go, "That's amazing. I'm proud of you!" Some kids, however, just tell me pointless things.

"Miss, I found a penny. Are you proud of me?"

Sure, buddy, if that's what you need to get back on this bus. 🥴

Conspiracy theorists crack me up because a simple search would show that two of these people have birthdays in Jan, and garnet (Jan's birthstone) is dark red. But they made that jump anyway. Champion pole vault really.

My students spent 3 days last week researching a topic that interests them (using only academic journals, mind you), then today I walked them step by step through writing an introduction and thesis statement.

Their work is amazing. 😍🤩 They're so confident and analytical.

I'm reading Dante's Inferno, listening to opera, wearing an oversized sweater...

My mum: You're very weird right now, honey. Pick a struggle, as the young ones say.

😂😂

Received a random gift from Chewy, and it did not disappoint 😂.

Things my students complained about today that I have no control over but I wish I did...

It was raining this morning.

It was very cold in the classroom, and I should turn up the heat.

The weekend was only two days, and break is two weeks away still. "Can we be done already?"

It's not pizza day.

My 11yo son understands why his uncle, my brother, needs to be cut off (his abusive behavior has gotten worse over the years), but my mother can't, and that says a lot about how I raised my son vs how she raised hers.

Happy Caturday, everyone!

Anywhere between 5-10 teens spend their lunch period in my classroom instead of the cafeteria for various reasons (it's my planning period). Today, they labeled it AP Lunch and spent the period teaching a classmate the rules for hockey. 😂

The kids are all right.

My class had to write a journal to discuss what would happen if sortition was used to select gov officials today (we're learning about ancient Greece). One kid wrote...

"You might see Carl the farmer end up in office and things might get done because you know stuff gets done on a farm " 🤣

Classes are only 35 minutes long... Sure, it's because we have a faculty meeting, but ya girl is tired.

I feel like a stalker liking the same people's posts, but I have no friends on here 😂. I swear I'm not creepy.

16yo: Seeing teachers outside of school is weird. Like I'm not in math class, why am I seeing you at Target?
Me: Because we're buying stuff too?
16: Ok, but Mr C was buying beer.

I bet he was 😂

Trying to find my people on here is like walking into a party halfway through the night and looking around for your friends whilst trying not to draw attention to yourself.
