You're human. Of course it's ok to be upset at your class. Mad, even. I remember one time when a challenging student pushed the boundaries...
SO and I set a small budget for ourselves for Christmas. This year, we aren't allowed to spend more than $50 on gifts for each other. That's...
betterlesson.com is a good one as well
I taught sex ed as part of our Grade 7 Health curriculum and I taught all of those topics with the exception of good touch, bad touch. I assume...
There is no smoking on government property allowed here at all. That includes school grounds. There is currently only one teacher at our school...
No heat on here, yet. It's only 3C here today (I think that's about 37F?), but it's still warm enough inside to get by with slippers and a...
This is exactly what I do.
Or getting ready for an open bar party, like a wedding or an anniversary party or New Year's Eve. Maybe it's the area in which I live but...

I used a curse word in front of students this year. I told them on the first day that I didn't want them half-a$$ing their work. However, this...
I'm allergic to raw carrots but not cooked ones. The bit about the link between pollen and allergies to food is true. My allergist told me...
