I put some words on my board at school last week: No S. S. Translation: No Stupid Stuff! The kids are just crazy right now and don't seem to be thinking of consequences. In fact, we made the news today. It seems that a couple of sixth grade boys have been exposing parts of their anatomy (that should remain personal and private) to the girls, and engaging in activities (that should remain in the privacy of the bathroom or bedroom) in the classroom. A parent got drift of it--only because she overheard her daughter talking to a friend on the phone--and the fun began. A bunch of angry parents descended upon the administration claiming that the teachers had failed to protect their young ladies from sexual harassment. The teachers and administration were blindsided. The young ladies had not reported the aberrant behavior to anyone! The investigation continues... In the meantime, they need to add MIND READER to the list of hats we teachers wear...
Yesterday, Megan was out of patience with the children, so Nathan took them fishing at the golf course after work. Robin caught three fish and Ryan caught two. (Nathan, who probably spent all his time baiting hooks and seeing to it that the children didn't kill themselves or each other with the poles) caught one. The children sounded so excited about it on the phone. Ryan said Daddy has a box with the fishing supplies in it. It's a "tickle box". I just laughed and laughed about that!
Two more days of school with students...then one more teacher day after the weekend...and I'll be free of school for a few weeks. I will be working the Indy 500 for my radio club on Sunday, and (of course) the forecast is for 88 degrees! Why it has to get inordinately warm THAT day is due to that doggone fellow Murphy. Somebody ought to shoot that dude!
Skywarn net up on our repeater now due to severe weather conditions. Please, God...don't let my car get hit by hail until my garage is cleaned out. Someday. Maybe....
