School stuff . . .
May. 31st, 2006 04:52 pm1. This is why I do what I do:
"Mr. Toscano, I wanted to tell you how grateful I am for all you have done. National Honor Society has been particularly memorable. The times we had in Washington, D.C. [at the NHS national convention] will forever be in my memory. NHS was one of the best groups I have been in during high school. NHS and you as well pushed me to beter my community through many community service opportunities. I would also like to thank you for writing a letter recommendation letter [cq] for a scholarship. You wrote a letter in the span of two days while you were busy with other things. I want to tell you how thankful I am for everything you have done for me and making my high school years easier.
2. I love teaching at a school that has a Culinary Arts program. First of all, then kids are late to class, the teacher often sends a cookie or a sandwich as a "Pass.” Secondly, I get notes that say, “Please allow her to be late. She had to peel a dozen eggs.
That’s not as good as having an Agricultural Science program like we did back at Ledyard when one student told me she was late, “because I had to catch my sheep,” and another had to leave early because “my horse is being gelded.”
3. So what do you do when a kid says, "The word slut makes me think of my mother?" Yeah, it ain't never boring.
4. I could teach Civil Rights all year long.
