1st and 2nd grade were easy. But social studies, division? This is gonna be tough.

Yellow dust sucks, period.  What is yellow dust, you might ask. Well, let me tell you.  It's this annoying-ass "dust" that blows in from the deserts in northern China and Mongolia.  Basically, it makes everyone mad sick bc you are breathing that shit in all day long.  And I thought Asians wore face masks to be fashionable!   Ughh, I am always coughing, bloody snots in my nose, wake up in the morning and my eyelids are glued to my eyeballs, etc.   I don't like yellow dust!

Not too much new going on here.  Kids are the same as always.  The bad kindergarten class (which has many of  the same kids from the bad preschool class) is growing increasingly violent.  Is it bad that I think it's funny?  These kids straight throw down!  Today in another teacher's class, Edward stood up out of nowhere, stormed to the back of the room where Rei sits, pushed Rei so he tripped over the backpacks, and started beating his ass while he was down!  Although not innocent, this time all Rei could do was block the punches.  I was just pissed I didn't get to see that!  This shit happens all the time though!  There is also Alex in that class (who came in Monday with a FRESH mullet cut).  Alex hits the kids and if they don't hit back, he basically calls them a bitch who can't hit because they are weak.  Pretty funny shit.  The funniest part is that Edward's mom sent a letter to his homeroom teacher saying that he is a shy and introverted sweet boy and that she is fearful for him bc of the display of violence in his class.  I was like,  please!!!  Your son is the worst!  The same day she sent the letter, another mom - from another class - called the school complaining because Edward had tried to strangle her son in the bathroom.  Bitches are crazy!!  Never a dull day around there.  Some days, particularly Tuesdays, I feel like I am going to lose my voice from having to shout so much!  Sometimes it's because I am yelling at them, but most of the time I am just trying to talk over them.  Mornings are not so bad, but the afternoon kids on Tuesdays and Thursdays are BRUTAL.  They are so loud and so fucking annoying.  I actually told a group of kids yesterday they were annoying little fuckers, to which I got the response, "Teacher, what's annoying?"  Look it up in the fucking dictionary, your picture is there.  Good one, I know =)

In good news, I am closing in on 4 months -- one third of the way done!  Yahoooo!!!

And, since when has it ever been 87 in MA in early April?!  It will prolly snow next week, lol.  ^^
