Belated Valentines post

Student: "what is the deal with Valentines day anyway? It is such a stupid holiday"
Me: "Well just because you had your heart broken and don't know if you can ever find true love ever again."
Student: "What the hell is wrong with you?"

Overheard in Class: Friends Classroom edition

A friend of my mine told me about one of her students transition goals. It is realistic and and even gave a time frame for when he planned on achieving it.

from Ms. D
'one of my students made a goal today that he wanted to be a death metal guitarist. when asked what steps he would take, he said "channel an evil spirit"

of course, i let him keep it and will be putting it in his portfolio. gold, pure gold!'

Thank you for that. I truly think it is one of the best transition goal ever

Please don't hold back

We had a substitute paraprofessional in class today. Let's just say she wasn't the brightest bulb.

At one point she was talking, to whom I don't know and student H says to me, "That lady is the stupidest woman I know."

Me: "That isn't a nice thing to say"

Student H: "I'm sorry but it's true! I just call it as I see it."

Teen 1: "Man I am so bad ass on the court, you ain't got nothing on me"

Teen 2: "whatever"

Teen 1: "Man I make 4 out of 10 shots, that's like 30% and you make like 60%, you suck bitch!"

Well this kid sucks at math and basketball apparently!
