Play acting like they are tough

I gave the most boring worthless test today. A beautiful Friday afternoon and the minutes just couldn't go by any slower. It's the secret to stopping time! The minute hand does NOT move! You just sit there watching it, hoping the kids don't do anything outrageous.

A little outburst here and there. Mostly they were under control.

My little hoodlums in fourth period (or an hour and a half lunch for some of them) were actually pretty good BEFORE we broke for lunch. I freaked out because this kid wouldn't put an old yearbook away and he was singing "Insane in the Membrane" and giving me pretty weak dirty looks.

I keep thinking FOUR days left. Four days left. I think I'm gonna invite the AP to stop by room on final day.

Another year. My biggest fear is next year will feel exactly as this one does. If I don't get my own room or more AOIT classes or computer science classes, I'm seriously thinking of entering the high tech world. High school can be so backward. A computer is viewed with fear and suspicion instead of a way to exchange knowledge. At least the principal is forward thinking...but there are some serious idiots on that faculty who think 1978 was the pinnacle of civilization.
