What a momentous occasion. My first blog post. Welcome to 2002, I know... :) So, why now? I happened to have typed "i hate my students" into the old search engine and this is what I found. Yes, it was kind of one of those days. Not altogether bad; just ominously indicative of my years to come as an English teacher. In a high school. I know. This is my first year. I know.
I had my first parent/teacher conference today. It didn't really have to do with me, but I was the one with the best documentation of this twit's outrageous behavior. What an eye-opener. Well, at least I won't have to deal with him after next week. He's being moved to a THIRD teacher's class. Good luck, buddy.
This is just going to be my rant space. It's Bitchville. If you're here, deal with it. I don't entirely mean that. There will be nuggets. Gems of inspired bloggery! I'm hopeful. :) Other than that...well, I make no promises. I named it Marmalade because my Mom loved that band. One song..."Reflections of My Life." It seemed fitting.
