I'm not a morning person. Mom would come in and warn me about being late by pulling the covers off the bed.

Actually I hate going to bed and I hate getting up. It's a no win situation for me.

Congrats on the column, CaBil!

I had cool public school teachers, I know my brother had several that were really awesome. Although several years after he graduated everyone found out that one of the teachers slept with several students when they were seniors and was asked to leave the school he was at before my brother's because this teacher had on a few occasons left a loaded gun locked in his classroom desk.

I also had some truly horrible private school teachers. There was the teacher who noted that I had trouble with daydreaming and was easily distracted and then put me at a desk in front of a window to keep me from distracting other students.

And the teacher in the sort of like a magnet school who was a whacked out loon and taught Child Development and said that women "made" men rape because women have something about them that drives certain men crazy and these men have to have a release. When pressed for more details she admitted that children who are molested do the same thing. It wasn't an intentional thing, she tried to explain, but a woman might smell a certain way or move in a manner. She didn't last at the school very long.

Then there was the whole private school I went to that sucked.

From Cheesebutt:

Warnings will be in effect for four months. [During this time, a warnable offense results in a suspension.] After four months, the slate is wiped clean.

A Warning will be notified over email, in the thread of incident, and in Bureaucracy.

To that end -- dylan, per Buffista procedure, an attempt to resolve offense in thread ( dw "Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind." Nov 17, 2005 11:13:31 pm PST) hasn't met with satisfaction from all parties. Kat, here: Kat "Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?" Nov 17, 2005 11:40:03 pm PST, requests a warning, and ten people have seconded her. Therefore -- this is an official warning.

It seems that you've violated our community etiquette standards, viewable here. We've tried to resolve it in the context of your posts, but it looks like a problem. Please consider this an official warning that your behavior is not acceptable in this community.

To discuss your warning or your situation, please do so in Bureaucracy. Thank you.

Windsparrow, we had the exact same problem with one of our cats. We bought a plastic packing box at K-mart and the BF cut a hole in the side, which we duct taped around. Problem solved and it was cheaper than a fancy litter box.

This is me.

I had conference yesterday morning with Brendon's team. All of his teachers rock this year. I've said this before, but I have been very lucky with the quality of public school teachers we have had with the boys. Now in 4th and 5th Brendon had teachers that were more than a little burnt out. It happens. In both private and public school I personally had some wonderful teachers and some that were going through the motions.

Yay CaBil!

and how Emmett and Charlotte requested to be at the same table. (Then we had to go look at a picture of Charlotte.)

Hee!

I'm not sure that whacked out loon is going far enough!

I went to public school and had excellent, good, mediocre and indifferent teachers. A whole mix. What I thought was weird was that I wanted to be a teacher, and the guidance department really discouraged it and put it down as a profession, saying "You're smart enough to do something better than be a teacher" Since most of them were once teachers, I was puzzled. I am not sure if they felt that way or just REALLY wanted me to be an engineer. It was the early, so it seemed like there was a lot of "we need female engineers" going on. And now, in real life, I am a secretary, not an engineer.
