I have recently discovered that there are things that I just don't understand...while I could make a list a mile long, I settled on the list of things just from the last few days...
1. With 20 million applications on my new Blackberry, I can figure out how to interact with facebook and check my e-mail...but why can't I figure out how to turn the ringer off during school?
2. Why does it bother me so much when my trash can is not in its normal usual spot? I came into work this morning like usual...sat down at my desk like usual...went to throw away my banana peel...reached to the right side of my desk to drop it in the trash can...and proceeded to drop it straight on the floor. The cleaning staff left my trash can by my classroom door...
3. Why is Wite-Out so interesting to HS students? If a bottle of the stupid stuff is left on the desk, the next student to come in is opening the bottle and putting random white lines on everything...their assignment, their notebook, their backpack, the Wite-Out bottle itself... During my first year of teaching, I actually had three students who put Wite-Out on their tongues! (In my defense, they started doing it the class period before they came to my room...they just continued the "party" in my classroom.) Turns out that it could be just a little toxic...(is that like being a "little bit pregnant"???) I guess these particular students didn't take time to read the warning on the label..."DO NOT SWALLOW OR INHALE. WARNING: Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling contents can be harmful or fatal." No surprise...they each had a pretty good gut ache a bit later...DUH!!
