Some of them annoy me, some I like more than others, some make me laugh, some I wish would grow a backbone...just like adults! But, since there's a mix of personalities in the teachers too, the ones I love are the ones someone else despairs of and vice versa, so it all evens out in the end!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936630222019897817.post-16396633871449170882012-04-16T22:26:26.250-04:002012-04-16T22:26:26.250-04:00@ Kirby Dunton Carespodi: I teach 13-14 year olds ...@ Kirby Dunton Carespodi: I teach 13-14 year olds too!

When I told him to sit down and behave one day (instead of throwing food and spitting at me)she screamed at me to leave him alone that he wasn't perfect and never told the child a word. That was four years ago. She has not spoken to me since. That was the only time I had ever corrected her child (she was playing video games).<br /><br />Some parents think the world should put a red carpet out for their kids while they are texting and playing games and being kids themselves.<br /><br />This post is so true (and funny as heck!)Crack You Whiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03071785490304845124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936630222019897817.post-22786426902254017102012-04-15T12:24:33.929-04:002012-04-15T12:24:33.929-04:00I'm not yet a parent, and I hope I'm not o...I'm not yet a parent, and I hope I'm not one of those mothers who drags their toddler to Target at 10pm, lets their child run amok in pet stores (or any store really) letting the poor employees babysit them, or throws a tantrum because they didn't get the latest toy that makes really annoying sounds.

I am the mom that kids will tell stories about in years to come. "Remember the lady who screamed at us to stop running at the pool? She was f*ckin NUTS."<br /><br />I appreciate your honesty, because all this "kids are so wonderful" ballyhoo is hogwash. Kids are adults in training, and nobody really wants to be on the expressway behind the student driver.

He calls her names and orders other kids not to play with her "because she's a baby". Even if I could somehow like him, now that Beege has learned to stay away from him (and accept that his being mean has more to do with him than her); I once saw him hit a baby with a stick and laugh. <br /><br />It would be bizarre if I could like that kid.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12248662505320434618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936630222019897817.post-2828260626076454102012-04-15T10:04:41.176-04:002012-04-15T10:04:41.176-04:00I teach 13- and 14-year olds.
