X'mas Time

But I'm still waiting for my presents

It's amazing the amount of students that came to me to tell me: 'Miss ***** help me please, I need 2 more points or I'll fail this year' again. So, what can I do but to try helping my poor beasts. Of course it won't be easy but at least I'll get lots of candies and chocolates for my good deeds. I was thinking about taking some oral exams because I have no time at all to grade more papers, God knows I've been working my ass off the last few weeks.

I feel sorry for those who are going to fail no matter how many points I give them, because they'll end up attending worse schools than the one I work in and that is really gonna make them behave even worse. It's not like their parents pay attention to their kids either, so it's like I'm hitting the wall every time I try to help a child. For example it took me 3 months to get a parent to buy a *photocopied* version of the book I needed to teache their kid *GRRR* (and they *do* have money!!)

In other news, today I got a X'mas card from one of my 3rd graders (awwww). I'm gonna miss my children so much! I'll always remember when one said: "Miss where did you get the operation to look so pretty?" (I swear my heart stopped for a second) or the
"Miss do you wanna marry me" or the "Miss!..." and then he would look at me, point me with his little finger and blow me a kiss.

I won't forget my 11th graders either, they were so lazy but they made me laugh so much. For example today a student said: "Miss they are the PA-JA couple! Pa for Pancho and Ja for Jaime" (Paja means masturbation in Spanish...so I couldn't help it but I laughed...hard)

I won't forget either when they pasted a giant penis on the roof, and when I asked the boy to take it down he took like half an hour before getting the courage to do it.

Ahhh..good memories

Oh! and my 10th graders...who didn't look like 10 graders at all! (Failing so many times 10th grade can do that to people *lol*) I was platonically in love with 3 of them *sigh* I think I was born too early ::cries:: One of them asked me to be his girlfriend during the final test and another student told me: "Miss do a King of Spain to him" so I told the kid "¡Por que no te callas!" I laughed so hard afterwards that I couldn't breathe.

I think I understand Barbra Streisand now...Meeeeemoriiiiieeeees...
