I hate the language my students use. If it isn't ghetto where it sounds SOOOOO uneducated it is just foul. I hate the n word and the other words that proliferate.
Today someone said bullcrap. I said watch your mouth. They said it wasn't cussing. I said you all have so perverted the English language that you miss the richness of it. So much of what they say is just common and I want some variety.
I wrote up my best write up ever today. It was just for a phone, but the drama was awe-inspiring. She threw herself on the floor and kicked her heels, she whined and wailed, she had to be dragged out of the room (really!). I told the class I may have to write her up every week just for the entertainment.

Thank you for all your posts this week. You are really helping me enjoy my vacation and enjoy being away from all that stuff.
:P My vacation started today and the kids have been showing that by their behavior.
You too? I get so sick of the foul language spewing out of my students' mouths that some days I don't even want to open the door to my classroom! The seventh-grade boys are the worst. I was told when I came to this school that profanity is common in the homes of these kids. So what? Enough's enough!
