Todays Lesson

Come closer and listen to my mind
Relax as I help you unwind
I shall teach you some basic skills and treasures
And unleash the knowledge to fill your brain's pleasures
We can go off to another galaxy and find a black hole
Or I can create a chemical reaction that gets out of control
Allow your mind to be filled with what I know
Allow your mind to be filled so it can grow
Blooming into a lovely thing for all the world to see
And when you don't understand, remember to ask who???....ME!!

13 Things Your Child's Teacher Won't Tell You

1. If we teach small children, don’t tell us that our jobs are “so cute” and that you wish you could glue and color all day long.

2. I’m not a marriage counselor. At parent-teacher conferences, let’s stick to Dakota’s progress, not how your husband won’t help you around the house.

3. We’re sick of standardized testing and having to “teach to the test.”

4. Kids used to go out and play after school and resolve problems on their own. Now, with computers and TV, they lack the skills to communicate. They don’t know how to get past hurt feelings without telling the teacher and having her fix it.

5. When I hear a loud belch, I remember that a student’s manners are a reflection of his parents’.

6. Your child may be the center of your universe, but I have to share mine with 25 others.

7. Please help us by turning off the texting feature on your child’s phone during school hours.

8. Guys who dribble a ball for a couple of hours a game can make up to $20 million a year. We educate future leaders and make about $51,000 a year.

9. We take on the role of mother, father, psychologist, friend, and adviser every day. Plus, we’re watching for learning disabilities, issues at home, peer pressure, drug abuse, and bullying.

10. Kids dish on your secrets all the time—money, religion, politics, even Dad’s vasectomy.

11. Please, no more mugs, frames, or stuffed animals. A gift card to Starbucks or Staples would be more than enough. A thank-you note: even better.

12. We love snow days and three-day weekends as much as your kid does.

13. The students we remember are happy, respectful, and good-hearted, not necessarily the ones with the highest grades.

You're Annoying

Screaming to release your frustration
Screaming to let go
Screaming because your happy
Screaming for show
We scream for many reasons and sometimes none
Does it help, does it make things go away or come back?
Nope, it just allows us to possibly feel better even if just for a min
It can also make others aware of our joy, sometimes miles away
We love to scream, we hate to scream, we scream to scream
So next time you feel the urge to scream.......Don’t, your probably gonna annoy someone you idiot!!
