... or task, as it were, as I move from senior tutor to sophomore teacher ... and after 3 years of calm, we've had 3 fights on 3rd floor this semester. Alas, we're short 2 principals, which adds to the problem. I only hope that we can get the 10th grade class back on track in time for the 2011 TAKS ...So what's with the funny animals? As I commented below, I have an anime shrine -- most of my students aren't interested in furry art; however, there are two anthropomorphic bison -- a samurai and a geisha -- as the mascots for the anime club.
You have to be a good dancer to be this clumsy at the barre ... Lucy was a dancer for MGM before they discovered that she was a comedienne. My friend Mandy has a shrine to the Ricardos & Mertzes in her classroom; I myself have an anime shrine. Both of us enjoy movies, particularly the classics; when we taught next door to one another, we would play movie trivia. How many minutes into a scene did you need in order to identify the movie and its stars? I wonder whether she shows movies before school and during lunch the way she did on 3rd floor. I doubt it -- the powers-that-be (and lunch traffic) frown on cinematic stuff between 9 and 4. Then they wonder why the kids have so little culture ... it's all hip-hop and pop with the Web sites and Youtube thrown into the mix.
I did have to chuckle, however, because I had to shoo several kids away from the library since the seniors are testing all week. Sorry, kids, you can't check your manga or video stream ... see you next week.
