It's Tuesday...
My classroom hasn’t had power since LAST Monday.
It’s getting harder and harder to teach.

I wanted to watch men civilly battle it out tonight...
so I watched the SF Giants vs. St. Louis Cardinals game instead of the debates.
WORLD SERIES, YA’LL!!!!!!!
Popcorn
“What if they didn’t sell any corn here? What if like all they sold were pretzels?”
Said at the cornmaze.
Discussing the Debates
A few 8th grade thoughts while discussing the debates…
“Why can’t they just answer the questions?!”
“I think the old man was mean, and a little wise.”
“Everyone deserves a second chance.”
“My mom’s for Obama, and my dad’s for Romney. It’s really awkward.”
Guess what's so awesome?!
And by “so awesome,” I really mean SO LAME!
Finding out halfway through the day that the air conditioning and electricity will be out in my classroom for the rest of the week.
Tonight I need to buy some handheld sharpeners…
So I promised...
a student from the last two years that I would advertise his humor page on facebook. He was the author of Turkey’s Revenge: Part 2, many “Hey, Miss At” quotes, and is probably the reason a lot of you follow this blog in the first place. He is quite a hoot.
I’m pretty sure if I don’t post this link anytime soon, he will not speak to me for 10 years. So here you go, cousin. It’s done. Miss you!
P.S. Yes, on the first day of school of my first year of teaching, I found out that I was teaching my distant cousin.
Germs
- Student 1: Don't touch me. Your hands are dirty.
- Student 2: The whole world is dirty!!
Little Girls
“Sticking tongues out is for little girls!”
yelled the 8th grade boy.
Bromance
“Hey Miss At, if there’s a book called Bro Code, you should read it to us.”
NOOOOO!
I just walked in the door from staff meeting, turned on my dvr so I could catch up on the debates, and….uhhh….
FOX?!?! You say you’re showing the debate, but really you’re showing crappy comedy shows.
Now how am I going to handle my class discussion tomorrow?! You’re a jerk, FOX. JERK.
Lunchbox
Right as I was locking the classroom door, an 8th grade boy comes running over…
“WAAAAIT!! I need to get my lunchbox! If I forget this one, I have to bring a pink one tomorrow.”
A Whole New World
- Me: I thought you went to go get your English book.
- Student: Well, I coudn't find it. It's in my locker somewhere, but when I open it, it's like another world in there....like a fairytale movie or something.

Student singing at the top of his lungs….
“I’m on a hiiiiiiiiiiighway to school! I’m on a hiiiiiiiiiiiighway to school!”
Sick Teacher
“No Miss At, don’t go home! Stay here and we’ll make you laugh!”
I did go home, but I went home feeling a bit more loved.
Paper Eater
- Student 1: Hey Miss At, N________ was eating paper.
- N_______: Is that really awkward?
