How come when I was teaching no funny things like that happened. I got the ones who went to the bathroom in the sink or spit in my coffee cup.

LOL..no wonder you gave up teaching, Hermit!

Seriously, though, it's a good thing you're not teaching, nowadays..pranks are much more serious than spitting in a coffee cup. It's much more likely to be poison of some kind, unfortunately.

What DID happen to all the little angelic kids, I wonder?

They all go to private schools.

Now, why didn't I think of that? :)

LOL! As a teacher, I get a real kick out of that one.

I have to say, however, that I don't find that lack of paying attention to the teacher true of the homeschoolers I work with.

One of my homeschoolers gave me a sweatshirt that says "If I'm talking, you should be taking notes." And they do!

Hello Jan,
Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a kind comment.
Wishing you and your hubby a wonderful Valentine's weekend!

Jan said...

AOW..home schooling is the best, I think!

I've tried to comment at your blog, but it won't post, for some reason. Your'sw and another, I'm having trouble commenting on.

I hope you and tmw are making it through the terrible snow storm, and that Mr. AOW is getting better every day!

I hope you all enjoy your Valentine's Day!

Lydia, I was so sorry to hear about your little kitty, and I know how very sad you all must be.

Your's is the other blog that I am having problems commenting on.

I wanted to wish you and your family a Happy Valentine's Day, and to wish your little girl a very Happy Birthday!
