Today I literally ran out of my classroom when the last bell rung. I'm supposed to stay in my room until 3:00, but I had a doctor's appointment to get to. That and I didn't want those seniors to corner me.
Oh, the seniors! The unbearable seniors! They are three days out from graduation and they don't let you have a moment's rest. They want to know if they hand in x assignment and y assignment and do z extra credit exactly how much will their grade raise and "Do you think I'm going to graduate?!?" I have no idea, kid. You might have wanted to plan a little more than three days out from graduation.
Now they're at the point where they're coming in whenever they please to ask me about their grades. In the middle of fifth period, they stick their heads in the door, "Hey Mrs. Larsen, I was wondering if you've put that notebook in on my grade yet?" Or they corner me on my way to lunch, "Hey the library says I didn't return my Othello book?" I can't escape them! That's why when it hit 2:25, I grabbed my bag with the rest of my eighth period students, turned off the light, locked my door, and bolted with the rest of them. I blended right into the crowd and was down the stairs and out the doors before a single kid could make it to my classroom. I knew if even one student caught me then I'd be stuck and I'd be solving the problems of fourteen high school seniors before I could make it to my appointment.
I'll deal with them tomorrow.
And that's how a school teacher survives in May. Straight up bolts out of the school.

DeleteHello to every one out here, am here to share the unexpected miracle that happened to me three days ago, My name is Jeffrey Dowling,i live in TEXAS,USA,and I`m happily married to a lovely and caring wife,with two kids A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my wife so terrible that she took the case to court for a divorce she said that she never wanted to stay with me again,and that she did not love me anymore So she packed out of my house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get her back,after much begging,but all to no avail and she confirmed it that she has made her decision,and she never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my wife So i explained every thing to her,so she told me that the only way i can get my wife back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for her too So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow her advice. Then she gave me the email address of the spell caster whom she visited.(bravespellcaster@gmail.com}, So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address she gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my wife back the next day what an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my wife who did not call me for the past seven {7}months,gave me a call to inform me that she was coming back So Amazing!! So that was how she came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and she apologized for her mistake,and for the pain she caused me and my children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster . So, i will advice you out there to kindly visit the same website http://bravespellcaster.yolasite.com ,i f you are in any condition like this,or you have any problem related to "bringing your ex back. So thanks to Dr Brave for bringing back my wife,and brought great joy to my family once again.(bravespellcaster@gmail.com}, Thanks..
Bon, my eighth graders were acting pretty much exactly like your seniors all week. "I left your book at my house, can I bring it to you tomorrow?" (on the last day of school). "Did I pass English? But I thought you said the project would bring my grade up to a D!" (I said the project COULD bring your grade up to a D if you got full credit, but you turned in a drawing of stick figures and two sentences). The light at the end of the tunnel is in sight!
ReplyDeleteAnd Belle, ratting your hair is teasing it and putting a little bumpit made of fake hair (a "rat") underneath the part you teased. That's how girls in the 60's got the big bouffant hairstyles.
Gross! I will stick with letting my hair do its own thing.
Deleteuh oh .. I'm getting a "404 - webpage not found" when I try to go to Belle's blog! I'm at home too (no firewalls), and all my devices show the same thing. :(
ReplyDeleteReal quick .. if I go to any of the links Belle provides to specific posts, those work. however the ones that are simply to her home page, don't work.
DeleteSame for me too!
DeleteLadies, are y'all typing in the www before my URL? I have not yet figured out how to redirect findingmyvirginity.com to www.findingmyvirginity.com. The in-text link that Bonnie used with my name Belle is the former and not the latter, which is why it's not working.
DeleteReading your posts make me so glad I abandoned my goal of being a teacher. Except for the summer vacation. I'm still longing to have a summer break again.

Loved this guest post!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I looked at past guest posts on Bonnie's blog and tried to remember which ones I liked and which ones I skipped. I'm glad you enjoyed mine!
DeleteI saw your picture on insta about the students and cracked up. I do not envy you this time of the year!
ReplyDeleteThis is the most intriguing guest post I've ever read here, Bon! And Belle - I visited your blog and just wanted to say that I will be praying for your mom and your family. And reading a lot more when it isn't past my bedtime. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for both the compliment and the prayers!
