I'm not entirely sure that this post has a place on a blog that's allegedly rooted in faith. However, I feel like today's post aptly captures my day-to-day life in the classroom. And, believe you me, I will be praying to this dear child's guardian angel. Maybe you'll join me.
12-14-11 Journal work taken from a student - see my running inner-monologue in parenthesis.
This piece is very accurately entitled: Fuck You All (settle in, it's going to be a good read)
Everyone sucks a lot. (I'll give him credit, he did indent.) I hate everyone. (Ok. Fair enough.) They are ass losers. (K, I have no idea what that is, but it sounds interesting.) They all suck. (Okay, thank you for the clarifying information about the acts of an 'ass loser'.) They can go fuck themself. (Grammar conflict! I rest my case.) That my free thoughts. (And how free they were regardless of, yet, another grammatical error)
Those grammar errors are glaring. You'd think I did nothing everyday! They almost downplay the swearing. Man, that kid is good. I could not pull that off if I tried! Keep in mind this was written at the end of the day, after the student was informed that he would be spending lunches with staff until he could start writing sentences that excluded the word "sucks." Way to take it to the limit! He showed us, boy, oh boy. Welcome to middle school, yeah?
It gave me a laugh. Many of them.
Today's list: Days until Christmas Break, excuse me WINTER break.
