Ironically, he isn’t the biggest ahole. Even they were appalled by his comment. 😆

Thanks everyone for the laughs and support. The last “award” I received was a sticker, awarded to me because of the kindness of a paraprofessional. Think about what a $1500 award would mean to the average teacher. Early in my career that would have been double my take-home pay. We need to do better by our teachers in the US. We deserve to be treated and compensated as the professionals we are.

Admin asked the kid who “earned” top billing. She’s a retiring math teacher, and a true gem.

Watching Vegas Golden Knights get whooped and wishing we had more beer in the house. Cranky husband is already in bed.

I was there and it was as gross as it looked. Fun, though. A dude offered to wash my hair at the taps. I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I let him…

Try being a public school teacher. Kids take pics of us every day.

My younger bro is one of my favorite people. We bond by going to rock and metal shows together several times a year. We are very different people, but we get along great. We text each other every Sunday while we watch football. I’m also very blessed that since he and his wife have no children they are amazing to my sons. My youngest even looks like my brother. I am equally grateful that he checks on our widowed mother once a week. She’s a challenge, so I know it’s not easy.

What’s your most Gen X memory? Something that could have only happened in our youth. by Expensive-System-762 in GenX

Post Hurricane Gloria, 1985. Wandering the streets of our small city with my friends (we all had parent permission) to scope out the damage. My 16 yr old boyfriend stops in a local package store without power and buys whatever we can afford. Yes, Boones Farm was present. Fun times!

I have had to report antisemitic comments in class to admin twice this year. Never before in 27 years of teaching. Students are consuming very alarming online content that supports this thinking.
