Teaching is Iced for Today
If you were visiting this site last year you might remember my posts about the 2nd grade class that I taught last year. They provided me with a ton of entertainment last year. Well, I am teaching them again this year for 5 weeks. I was supposed to start this morning, but to my disappointment there were over 500 school cancellations this morning in the Greater Cleveland area due to the weather. So, those little gassy goofballs will have to wait until next week.
I am excited because I am going to be teaching them before lunch instead of after lunch so hopefully their systems won’t be brewing up those bombs of gastric death when I am there. I know I am concentrating on the wrong things about teaching them, but their farting was memorable. It is one of the things that sticks with me from teaching them last year. I mean they were a lot of fun. They asked great questions, they made me laugh and they surprised me with how smart they were with some things, but nothing could make me forget walking around the classroom and occasionally walking straight through a pocket of oderiferous gas that would floor most people.
Ok, I will stop now, but be warned, we could have many stories like this before my five weeks is up.
Now, throw down some salt so I can go teach the kids. I even read through the lesson plan last night. Damn this Cleveland winter!

If you become too accepting of a condition that you really don’t want to encourage, you might just end up with unintended consequences.
