Random email from a student who graduated last year:
Querida Srta.________:
Pido disculpas por no mantener correspondencia con Ud. Pero espero que tiene Ud. buen salud y mucho éxito con los estudiantes.
Desafortunadamente, no he tomado ninguna clase de español aquí (no tuve tiempo este año en mi horario).
Estoy escribiendo porque esta noche encontré al Consul General de Chicago. Hablé a él en español. Y me dio su dirección. Y acabo de escribirse un email. Y recordé todos los ejercicios hicimos en clase practicar escribir estos tipos de mensajes.
Gracias por todo lo que hace Ud. por estudiantes como yo.
Con cariño,
from one end of the spectrum to the other
3rd period:
Student: “This is ridiculous, I’m not signing this detention” (after swearing at another student in class)
Me: “It doesn’t matter, you still have detention.”
6th period:
Student: “Ms._____, what if I sing you a Spanish love song?” (completely out of the blue while working independently to Spanish background music)
Me: “Nope.”
Killing me guys! Why isn’t it June 22nd yet??????
The United States of America on college education
Student: I'm not going to go to college because I don't want to go into debt.
USA: YOU USELESS PIECE OF SHIT. YOU'RE GOING TO AMOUNT TO NOTHING YOU FUCKING SCUMBAG. YOU'RE THE REASON WHY MY TAXES ARE SO HIGH.
Student: I'm just going to attend a small community college instead.
USA: HAHAHA YOU WERE TOO STUPID TO GET INTO A GOOD UNIVERSITY. ENJOY YOUR MCDONALD'S DIPLOMA.
Student: I attended a four year university and received a diploma in a field I am interested in. Now I am $50,000+ in debt.
USA: YOU DUMBASS. WHY THE FUCK DID YOU GO TO COLLEGE WHEN YOU KNOW YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT? YOU DIDN'T EVEN CHOOSE A USEFUL MAJOR EITHER. GOD PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE ME SICK.
Also...
Student: In college I learned how to think critically and analyze various points of view.
USA: QUIT COMPLAINING AND BE PATRIOTIC YOU GODLESS LIBERAL SNOB.
funniest (and most accurate) email from kid’s mom
“Thank you for your email. It seems to me he is acting like a 5 year old.”
….You said it….
Spring break teacher drinking game
Take a shot for every 17 year old whose mom you had to email to get them to stop acting like a kindergartner. Someone might be getting wasted tonight…
Tumblr teacher check in
1. In a brand new post, share one thing that went well / is going well (at work or in your personal life).
- Student who seems to “hate” me most days laughed at my joke the other day. I can’t be entirely sure he wasn’t making fun of me, but I’m going to assume the best this time.
2. Share one thing that has you stressed, concerned, etc.
BTSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, dating is hard :(
3. Let us know if there is anything the Tumblr Teachers Community can do to help you with your teaching (resources needed, ideas, classroom pen pals, donors choose projects, etc.).
-Anyone have any suggestions/strategies/resources for improving reading comprehension? Especially for multiple choice questions (like on the AP exam)

nice.
Last night:
I went on a nice date. With a nice guy. It was a nice change :)
Even if I don’t hear from him again (and I hope I do!) it was a nice reminder that guys like that exist.
