Minveryork

Hello to all babblers! Here is a story to wake up the chog.

4:21 pm

Minveryork

I think that others might co 6/27 with me in that this is a hard grid today so here's a story of clues for you to so 4/4 through.This summer,I'm teaching 100 HS students and their behavior & co7/44 is so obnoxious!They can't seem to make the very important co4/5ection that the choices they make will effect their future. They are so very disrespectful to me.They cu4/6e in my class. They hardly pr4/6uce any writing when I ask them to do any kind of class work. I've even called parents to tell them about their kids condu4/7, but that did not help at all. It's clear these kids are a pr 7/44 of their environment. When I went to administration, their response was also absu4/6. They told me to just suck it up for the rest of the summer.Their do4/6 behavior has made me regret taking the job. I'm usually pr 5/16 to be a teacher, but not this summer. This experience has left a so4/5 taste in my mouth.I will NEVER teach HS students ever again I say kud4/6 to any high school teacher. I do not know how they do it every day during the school year. Da4/5 it! Hubby wants the computer. I'll give it to him before his anger so 4/4s through the roof. I will be back later to enter last word & clue some more. Goodbye for now

Hi Min! I am doing OK. Dealing with a rescue pit bull my son's friend drug home. He doesn't do well with my other dogs, but otherwise is soooo sweet and obedient. How about you?

8:01 pm

Minveryork

I am okay origami.Dealing with some pretty obnoxious students in summer school. However, I think I'd rather deal with dog problems than the attitude&disrespect I get from my summer school high school students.

Oh, high school students. I imagine that can be tough! These days it seems as if many parents don't enforce rules with their kids, or require them to be respectful. My sympathies :-)
