In the background: Why Don’t You Look Into Jesus by the late Larry Norman, which is albeit, as evidenced by the title, unabashedly “in your face”, although a great example of late 60s Jesus Music (which has since unfortunately ballooned into a 4 billion dollar a year industry). However, there is still a ridiculously cool “guitar” solo 1:38 into it.

As I begin my first full week off, I decided to reflect a bit back on this past year of school. At the end of the year, I wrote a survey in which I asked my kids to answer various questions related to the class, what they learned my teaching style. While very helpful, some of their responses were also very entertaining. For you reading enjoyment, I include several below.

Question: What was the best thing about class this year?

-Playing Mario.

-Watching NUMB3RS.

- The air conditioning.

-UMMMMMMM….NO COMMENT

Question: What was the worst thing about class this year?

-The Homework.

-Nothing except the boring ness [sic]

-Every thing the environment suck all white feel like if you in the hospital.

-The lame jokes and the lame pizzazz jokes.

Question: What is one thing I could do to improve this class for next year’s students?

-LESS HOMEWORK LOL =D

-be more mellow

-I have one thing and one thing only, turn on the heater!

-I don’t really kno…wait……….stop making lame jokes.

Now don’t get me wrong, most of the comments students left were actually very positive, yet some of their phrasing and terminology (and spelling, or lack there-of) was absolutely hilarious. As long as the kids continue to crack me up, I will be able to stay sane in the midst of dealing with all the fun fun fun district bureaucracy!
