Websites is fun

So, I've known for a few weeks now that our school is phasing out the middle school, so that in three years we'll be just a high school. I thought it was kind of weird that nobody was freaking out. Turns out that nobody was supposed to know -- apparently it was very "hush-hush." Being the freak with a classroom near to the principal -- where apparently, everyone feels the need to have top-secret meetings -- I must have just overheard it at some point. Thinking that everybody knew, I didn't feel compelled to spill the beans.

Surprisingly, nobody was terribly upset. For myself, I kind of went. . .hmm, that's really far away, which is where I plan to be when the actual COMPLETE CONVERSION begins.

Conversation of the day:
Me: Why do you think you're all being held after school?
D: Because we were talking and disruptive during class.
Me: Were you?
E: Because none of us did the do now?
Me: Is that why?
A: Because we were running around the classroom and yelling?
Me: Were all of you doing that?
DH: Because we're all failing?
E: Hey, I'm here, too.
D: How much does your computer cost?
Me: Can we focus here?
A: I think we're all here because you're lonely and need someone to hang out with after school.
Me: I think I can find people I'd rather hang out with.
A: Really? 'Cuz no offense, miss, but you're getting kind of old.
E: It's hard to get men at your age.

You see what I have to deal with on a regular basis?

Other side note: "One Semester of Spanish Spanish love Song" and "Que Hora Es?" are the two best videos on Youtube. if you haven't seen them, check it out. I mean immediately.

Signing out!

I'll have to check those videos.

Also, I'm amazed at how different yur kids are from mine. Just yesterday one of my 5th graders was like "Megan-sensei, bijin desu ne!" Which means, Hey Megan, you're on of the 'beautiful people'.

I think the girl needs her eyes checked, lol. Anyway my point is that my kids are nice to me. I'm afraid of ever teaching in the states....maybe if I teach out in the boonies like I do here....then, then I will be safe.
