While pregnant and teaching 8th grade a few years ago, I was sincerely
explaining the virtues of "scoring" clay. The kids were giggly but I just
ignored it until I heard one 8th grade girl exclaim loudly, "Well, it's
obvious that she scored!".
I was so embarrassed! Fortunately, it was the end of class and I was able
to dismiss them quickly. Of course, I can laugh about it now...!

I did the same thing with my HS kids. Then I lost
it................................
Went to the hallway and cracked up.
When I regained my composure, I explained to the kids that they had to
excuse
the sub clone that was totally inappropriate and mimiking me. They all
looked
at me.HUhhhhhhhhhh/? it took awhile for them to catch on. Enough said and on
with the demo.
will always remember the really naughty bad boy trying to graduate that
instigated that scenerio. He was always in trouble but has such bright
twinkly
eyes. You just knew he was full of it. That was in the days before drugs
when
kids eyes were clear.
Ah yesssssssssss,
17 more days to go
