I have some news...
This week has been incredibly tough for me. I did something that was really hard and has left me slightly heartbroken. I thought I should tell the tumblr community now too.
Since I stated teaching at my school, the students, with all their “wisdom” and “care” have reminded me time and time again that it’s too bad I’m “Miss At” instead of “Mrs....

Roller Coasters
Student: Hey Miss At, are you gonna go on the roller coasters, or are you gonna wimp out?

Dear Parents,
I was wondering if you could do me a favor. I was wondering if you could give me the exact date that….
it became acceptable to accuse and blame the teacher for things that your child should be taking responsibility for.
Because THAT is the day I should have turned in my resignation.
LOOOOOOVE,
Miss At
(That teacher that’s been working her butt off to create a fantastic school...

Graduation Prep
So I ordered the 8th graders’ caps and gowns today. It makes me excited because it means there’s only one month of school left,
but it makes me extremely sad because the kids I’ve had for two years are LEAVING ME!!
A Dumper
“EWWW! It looks like someone took a big old nasty dumper in your mouth!”
This was said in the middle of writing essays because one student decided to show his desk partner that he had put an entire chocolate bunny in his mouth at once. I think the gargly noises he was making didn’t help to dissuade others into thinking it didn’t actually look like he ate poop.

An #Education Question
I love that there are plans in place for a tumblr teacher meet-up in Ohio! But…. that’s too far away for me and I’m sure for others as well :[
So I was wondering, are there some West Coast tumblr teachers that would like to do a get together out here? Maybe San Fran or L.A.?
I want yo feedback!

Is It Weird...
…that I think my junior high class is super adorable while taking this pop quiz over Tom Sawyer?
Sounds like something an evil teacher would say, but it’s true! They’re so cute right now! Rummaging through their brains for all that pre-spring break information they learned, pencils scratching away on their papers, and oh the absolute silence!
