Crappity - chipped a tooth. Now I gotta hustle and figure out my dental coverage claim form crap. I am so dental phobic, this SUCKS. I already found a dentist, basically just grabbed a name off the provider list and "lucked out" with a 7am appt tomorrow. Oh f*cking joy.
And we live to fight another day.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh Erin, big huge hugs and a pox on motherfucking obnoxious students. A big ass pox.
Kristin, you take your Vic and stay nice and gently doped until this passes-- all I've ever had is fibroids that have developed in the past few years and I know how hard those little fuckers can hurt when they flare up-- I can't even begin to imagine what you're dealing with.
Okay, Universe and 2008, the Voodoo dolls will be coming out in full force if we don't get a respite for the last four months of the year. We've had it with you.

Barb, we'll get together and fill the Voodoo dolls with lots of sharp, pointy pins.

I really wish they hadn't outlawed corporal punishment in schools. Bring the paddle back!
Texas still allows it. I think a few other states, too. One of my friends in college told me that she got caught smoking in high school a few times, and the principal always gave her a choice: either the paddle, or he'd call her mother. She said she always picked the paddle.
You know, I quite like teaching stuff. I'm not so big on the supervising and scolding thing. That gets old.
Yes, this. My biggest problem recently has been students talking on their cell phones during class, but there have been other years when I had some actual behavior problems in my classes.

Florida still allows it, with certain stipulations.
At my school we have problems with the students text messaging during class, sleeping and trying to listen to MP3's (and yes, sometimes they are doing all three at the same time)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

A few. Legal in 23 states.

Wow. I wonder how many of them regularly use it?

I dunno. I suspect it varies a lot by both state and school -- for instance, I get the impression that in NC it's decided district-by-district, because it's occasionally news that one of the more fundieriffic parts of the state is debating really using it. Which makes me think it's not actually all that common in every place it's legal, but 23 states still surprised me.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
It's probably not outlawed because of the teachers. It's for the student's safety.
Maybe, a compromise? A once-a-month Day o' The Whalloping Reckoning? 1 whallop per kid, and the teachers bid to whallop with the proceeds going to the Teacher Legal Defense Fund?
Or for a library?
See. It's all for the Good of the Children! Really!!
