But at least it will be fun.

Being raised in a family where BOTH parents are teachers (who spent their days "having fun" with aforementioned).. I turn out just fine. lol

Well, they knew what to look for after they had to deal with juvenile delinquents all day.

You can't teach public school then. At least around here you can't.

 

[Stray Cat]

Thank you, sir.
Indeed, they made their teaching days count!
([size=-2]now I can't stop saying "please" and "thank you" ..two words that are so unpopular nowadays[/size])

 

[Touchofevil]

One major reason I wouldn't teach alternative ed south of here. I don't want it to be a "us against them" mentality. We can have old school strict standards and still laugh and take care of business.

Please and thank you never go out of style.

The public schools here are an exercise in marking time.

Manners are free and open so many doors in Life as I constantly tell my students.

Here, they are changed by "mhm" and "mhm!"
(there's the difference between the 2: first is just a sign of slight acknowledgment, but the second one comes with the smirk)

That is something they need to know.

 

[Stray Cat]

Oh geez!

Those brand new young generations; turning everything into shorter version.. I believe they are too bored to even make a full sentence. They start it, but somewhere in the middle they lose their interest, and end it with "meh!".
Talk about degradation.. :eeek:
Now, in Mr. Poirot's time:
Hercule Poirot: Ah! "Godmother"! Now you have accidentally said something valuable.

I suppose we can beat the rest of the sentence out of them.

Why did they made it a "bad" thing to educate kids the "hard" way? Some of them really need some.. (what's the proper way of saying this?).. tough love.

Nuclear warhead wouldn't hurt their self esteem.
It's like that song, by that French DJ: I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose.
..not even self esteem. lol
