• Flying Scissors.

  
  

  What happens when a student threatens to chuck a pair of scissors at another student, and you happen to be the only authority figure in the room? Yeah, take it away from the student right? No — we are not in 2nd grade anymore, highschool students will stab you to death if you try to stop them from doing what they want to do. It’s almost like taking their cigarette from their mouth and stomping it on the ground and telling them to stop smoking the cancer stick. If you have done so, consequently, you will most likely find that your car wasn’t in the shape that it was in when you drove in this morning.

  
  

  Anyway, so C threatened to chuck a pair of scissors at J today. You know what I did as the authority figure in the class? I told J to run. “Run J run!! Run for your life!” When you can’t stop the target, you avoid it.  Too bad J didn’t run… or duck. Too badddd. That’s for not listening to Miss Nelle.

  Mistake #384

  
  

  …having a student walk away with my business card today. Not only will my department be very anal about it, I will possibly receieve spams, invitations to phone sex sessions from male students, or the possibility of having a student show up at my door step. All my contact info was on that business card. Now tell me, why am I NOT blonde?

  
  

  My excuse: “Listen York University, you can’t fire a teacher volunteer! I volunteered for God’s sake!”
