Has the kitty reality show been discovered, discussed, and marked appropriately as one of the signs of the quickly coming apocalypse?

That's been mentioned... somewhere.

I think it's more a sign that God loves us very much....

Could someone explain to me why I thought high school would be a nifty idea, rather than the worst possible age to teach?

Often I enjoy it. Today I would rather be explaining why the sky is up and dealing with potty training issues.

Come to my house. I've got the perfect kid for you right here...

Because that's where they keep the fun subjects, math-wise.

Buck up, little camper.

Well, yeah. So when there's actual teaching going on, it's definitely the way to go. On the other side of the scale, I'm guessing Fay doesn't have a lot of fights spilling out into the hall with girls yelling "fuck" at each other, and a sinking feeling in her stomach that whatever it was she was supposed to do, she didn't do it and has lost any respect her students had for her.

Er, hypothetically. Can I just go back to grad school now? I liked it there. It was quiet.

I hate to say it, but that's why I bailed out of teaching. And why you are kind of my idol for sticking with it.

I doubt it's your fault, though. This is the class you took over from another sub, right?

The, uh, good (?) news is that you get to go back tomorrow for another shot, right?

Yeah. Which makes me feel a little better than if it was one of the classes that's really mine... but not really, because I also feel like I never got control of the class and that contributed to my not being able to handle it afterward (honestly, I'm not sure there was anything I could have done to stop it in the first place -- one of the participants isn't even in the class, and I have no idea what happened).

Hahahahahahahhhhhhhh

Yes. Also, it's the last class of the day on a Friday, so in addition to the trying to leave before the bell rings they do normally, tomorrow they may start trying to sneak out halfway through class. Dammit. Two more days I have to deal with them, and then the final. I was really hoping to make it through without it blowing up.

lock the door.
