Middle School Students
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.
It was a tale of two teenies...well, actually way more of them.
Middle school teachers see the craziest things.
Middle school students do the craziest things.
The frontal lobe is not fully developed.
The hormonal glands are overdeveloped.
The skill of thinking before speaking is a future endeavor.
I take students to the library every Friday. This is because my classroom is right beside the library, and my principals want me to utilize this proximity. Because of these two things, most students return and check out books on Thursdays. That way the trip to the library is less meaningful...more of an opportunity to display their awesome skills of messing around. This past Friday a student gleefully found a book that they immediately checked out. The title...according to the student...was Life kills That Every Teenager Needs to Know.
This was the title that was displayed on the cover. However, if the little darling of a wannabe gangbanger had read the spine he would have seen that the library scan code had covered up the s in the word Skills. I laughed as I imagined him at home...reading about folding laundry and making toast and trying to figure out how to use this information to attack his enemies.

They turn my hair gray
They force me to work on my patience every day
They don't want to work--just play
And oh the crazy things they say
But God help me I still love them

I think a sixth grader is trying to fool Mr Hot Coco.
ReplyDeleteHe used white out to change the title then very subtly messed up the subtitle.
