Some parents are very opinionated!

I tried not to be.

 

[jj2]

Mine was simple. Shrimp and fries.

 

[dlsw]

[JustaGuy]

Naw, kids are great. I expect, no, I ENCOURAGE them to misbehave, sorta. It's the adults...

They need...

Opinions are fine! It's hard to explain... and exhausting as well.

 

[jj2]

Here comes jag, he will make it all better Di.

 

[Sundrinkr]

Sun, your supper sounds fantastic. Come cook for me, please? Pretty please?

yOu deserve it after dealing with parents. I swear they sometimes act worse than the kids. How long have you taught?

This is only my 15th year in this country. I used to teach EFL in Madrid and then later in Barcelona. Of course, those years do not count toward retirement, so I'll be working quite a few years more.

Here comes jag, he will make it all better Di.

Let me see if I can try...

Di, as a teacher, you're most familiar with the bell curve. When dealing with idiots, keep in mind that HALF of the population is below average, therefore, your chances of running into below average people is at least 50%. And average....is nothing to brag about either.

 

[jj2]

Well I got to run...............BBL

 

[JustaGuy]

See you later, jj!

Sometimes, it's worse than 50%.

 

[tgcrna]

Sometimes, it's worse than 50%.

Ha Ha!! I need that sign where I work, too

Hiya Beachmates!!!

 

[dlsw]

Sometimes, it's worse than 50%.

Today was one of "those" days... worse than a 50% chance of idiocy!

 

[JustaGuy]

Ha Ha!! I need that sign where I work, too

Hiya Beachmates!!!

Hiya Tink! We need to get you another sign.

 

[dlsw]

Hi Tink!!!

 

[tgcrna]

Hiya Tink! We need to get you another sign.

such as?.....

 

[JustaGuy]

Today was one of "those" days... worse than a 50% chance of idiocy!

And those days beg the question....where are all the above average people hiding? Why can't I find them?

 

[tgcrna]

Hi Tink!!!

Hi Di I admire you and Sun, and any other good teachers. I think "teaching" could be fun and very rewarding.... but dealing with all the other BS is what I wouldn't be able to handle!
