my house is a fortress

4th Graders suck at homework.
they did okay on the vocab.
half of them read "stealing home"
and they did not prepare for the substitute!

and whats the deal with 10 year olds and cellphones? I know that kids are getting them at younger ages and all, but i caught 3 kids with them, and I'm sure there were more! I caught one kid texting on his cellphone and i said, "why do you have that out? are you honestly getting texts right now?" and he showed me and low and behold.. someone was texting him. 4th graders are so tech savvy!

something else interesting i noted? I had to go sit in their choir practice for about 2 hours, and when one kid was singing, "fart" instead of "heart", she stopped practice and was saying things like, "If you don't wanna do this, you need to go home, talk it over with your parents, and then bring a note to me saying you don't have to do this. But until then, you are a part of this choir."
I swear my band and choir people said the same exact things to us in school! Not so threatening when you're older!

And if the fist fighting, smart ass talking kids weren't enough to make my day bright and shiny, seeing an annoying person I went to highschool with and being trapped by them for an awkward 20 minute talk was the icing on the cake! yay!
