Wowser!

After the day I had, I found it IMPERATIVE that I create a blog; venting at happy hour with soon-to-be former coworkers was simply not enough. I have some of the BADDEST (not to be comfused with worst), dumbest students on the planet. I teach sixth grade in the ghetto. Avoid that if you can. I teach History and English. I have 28 students (out of 35) who are currently receiving an F in History because they simply refuse to turn in any work. I mean, on some levels I understand the whole "being on strike" thing; when I get bad service at a store, I will not patronize them anymore; hence, I am on strike. But they're on strike from school... I don't get it. When I'm on strike, I benefit, because I ultimately save money. But their strike- they just stay dumb. How exactly does that work?
