I haven't told a good 'school' story in a while...

I guess my days at school are not very exciting. I come home worn-out on most occasions. Some students say crappy things, others say less crappy things. That's the nature of my job. I paint a bleak picture, but in all actuality I like what I do. It is a challenge and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Today, my students made me laugh. Most days, they make me smile for one reason or another. Today, they just really took it a bit far.

I teach one group that can be a bit over the top. There are twenty in the group and every single one of the them begs for attention, some more than others. Today, one boy decided to spend the lesson winking at me. I couldn't figure out what he was doing at first and eventually it started to get to me. Being the last lesson of the day, I decided to have a little fun with the student... "If you make me laugh, then I'll give you an after-school detention," was my threat, but it didn't have an effect. The boy kept winking. It could be worse... Last week, in that same group of students, I had a boy that insisted on harassing female students in the class by making the universal gesture of 'jacking off.' This was in our first lesson about Reproduction.

Yes, so I have been teaching about Reproduction (that's reproduction NOT sex ed!!) and I get little boys jacking off and winking at me... What next!?! I am scared to ask, really.
