I found out today that my school district plans to make me do 10 days of Sex Ed in March, totally stopping my English curriculum, and forcing me to teach something I am not qualified to teach. Seems kind of insane, and will probably do a ridiculous amount of damage to my image with students and thei...

Garrett, listen to negzee-sensei

This made me unreasonably happy.

Last year I had the worlds worst class of 9th graders. This year I have the exact opposite. The downside to having such lovely students for a change is that they all write their papers, which means I have to read them. Last year, with 80 students, I was lucky to get 40 complete papers.

I'm simply providing the website which gives more information on what the comic posted i...

Also, get well soon Trifkin. Might I recommend a strong scotch?

Anyone with a ThinkPad know how to keep the power utility without it sitting in the taskbar looking ugly and redundant? Sure, I could use the Windows one but that doesn't show me how many Watts I'm using, or show my processor performance. I have an IdeaPad, which is much the same. If we're talking ...
