Well I am officially a marking machine. Truly. I finished all those culminating tasks last weekend and now I am onto 59 final exams. I have done about 12 at this point, but I have a day off today so I am sure I will get at least half done. I have to get report cards in for Thursday, with comments and "learning skills". I think I put homework skills for my 5th period class as "Needs Improvement". Except for maybe 3 kids.
I was out and about this weekend and happened to get some coffee at a very nice place, as I was putting milk and sugar in my coffees, and I quickly asked the lady at the counter if I could have a tray. Little did I know that I was disturbing a crazy lady. The lady turned and looked at me and said, " EXUSE ME I am having a conversation here". I said "Sorry I just wanted a tray". "Someone should teach you manners, young lady...." "Well thanks for the lesson lady". "Ugh.. young people today, no one teaches them anything. I bet her parents didn't even teach her manners".
It took everything in me not to respond back, in a way not becoming to a lady. If that was something that was considered extremely rude...well what about all the other rude things kids say to me everyday.............And I wonder how kids get their superiority complexes. Proof is in the pudding. Or shall I say coffee......
