I overheard two students talking. The girl had recently come out, and was working up the nerve to ask another girl out to the prom.
Boy: Just ask her already!
Girl: I want to, but I'm scared! I love her so much! I want to marry her and be with her forever and--
Boy: I hope you don't think you can have babies with her.
Girl: We could adopt.
Boy: You've got different mechanics, that's all I'm saying.

Kid: I'm going to Creative Writing Club after school today!
History Teacher: Oh, you're part of the Mrs. Revis fan club?
Ack! The eternal battle between the History Department and the English Department rages on!

At the Creative Writing Club meeting, I had the kids make posters advertising a call for entries to our literary magazines. My favorite poster? The one that said:
Bring your entries to E-Rizzle's in Room 111, yo!

I always look forward to these windows into your classroom.
I love the E-Rizzle moniker. How cool to have daily access to all that material!
People think I became a teacher for altruistic reasons ... it's really just because I wanted to laugh a lot (and have great stories). Thanks for the gems you share : )
E-Rizzle?
Especially love the second Funny.
Ha ha. Those are gems.
My dad taught high school history on and off for years, and he always swore that the English teachers hated him. He told me it was a clash of personalities. I just laughed and rolled my eyes (I taught middle school social studies and had no clashes with English teachers), but maybe he was right. Interesting....
The Mrs. Revis fan club -- I guess we're all a part of that :)
Oh yay! You have a fan club!!!!!! SEriously, you must be the most awesome teacher!
That is classic. Oh my! Okay, E-Rizzle?
Ha ha ha! E-Rizzle! Yo, dawg.
Oh, who hasn't given one of their profs a gangster nickname?
My friend once named our math teacher G-woolie-woolie. His face when she said that was awesome. :)
I can't tell you how happy it makes me to read this--things have changed SO MUCH (even if not enough) since I was in school!
And yay for Mrs. Revis!
I'm want in on the fan club! And touchy-touchy in the History Department. LOL
