I guess it's been a while since I posted some top ten!
So here we go...
10.
Sometimes I forget how big our school is.
4,500 students, grades 9-12.
We have the 5th largest school in Texas!
That's huge!
No wonder I have gray hairs.
9.
Speaking of all these students...
a couple weeks ago we had a blood drive at our school.
Found out today that 40% of that blood couldn't be used because of STDs.
So sad...
But hey- that's my school!
8.
"Miss! I found my tights OUTSIDE my locker so I can't dress out!"
"I'm not really understanding your logic... why can't you dress out?"
"Someone prolly wore my tights!"
"It's ok- just put them on."
"Miss! What if that person had chlamydia?!?!?!?!"
I laughed.
But now I'm realizing that she may have had a point after hearing about the blood drive results!
7.
Let's just keep going with this...
one of our students got TB this past month,
and thus the WHOLE student body had to be tested for TB.
Yes you got it.
All 4,500 students.
It was insane-o.
6.
This next statement just sums up the attitude of the majority of my students.
We have to make up two bad weather days this year...
one was this past Monday on President's Day.
When I asked my students about it they responded-
"I'm not coming! Why should I be punished because of the weather?"
And a lot of them didn't show up Monday!
They do what they want and think it's ok...
Oy.
5.
We had a Zumba class for one of our Dance Club activities this past month...
I had to sit out because I wasn't feeling well.
My janitor friend came in during it to take out our trash.
She immediately jumped in and told me how Hispanic music is the best for dancing.
She looked at me sitting down and said,
"You don't need to dance because you're so small.
What size are you anyway?"
"Umm... a 6?"
"Ohhh... well maybe you should be doing this then."
Gotta love blunt people.
4.
I learn new words everyday.
Apparently a girl who likes thicker boys is called a "chubby chaser".
Who knew?
3.
We started selling fruit snacks for our Dance Club fundraiser.
I was kind of appalled when one of my students told me she took her little brother with her to sell fruit snacks door to door, so people didn't think she was going to rape little kids.
Um, what?
Excuse me?
2.
I've had to give the hygiene talk to many a people...
but it hit a new all-time awkward when I had to give that hygiene talk to one of my only male students.
Gosh.
Boys can be smelly.
1.
"Miss, miss! I can't remember... is it 'above' or 'under' the influence?"
Hahaha.
