what an asshole

every accusation is an admission with these people. Random adults are coming to an elementary school and could cause harm to the children? That describes the protestors.

Student: I have a question, and it's not related to the lesson... Is your shirt on inside out?
Me: No, it was made this way.

Also I can read a little Japanese now. Like モンゴル is Mongolia because whenever it's Kirishima vs. Hoshoryu, for instance, it says モンゴル on both sides of the screen. Yorikiri (よりきり) and Oshidashi (押し出し) are the most common ways to win and luckily each have repeating sounds.

If I made an FAQ for my class it would be like:
1. How many assignments do I need in order to pass?
12
2. Okay but how many assignments do *I* need?
12
3. I have a very unique circumstance, so how many assignments do I need?
12

Me when I first started watching sumo: I like the color of his belt. A nice teal.
Me now: You just can't let Kotozakura get his preferred right-hand-inside-grip on the mawashi.

But you do support the content of the speech.

Coworker: I like that jacket. Is it Carhartt?
Me: THIS IS GAP KIDS!!!

Takes you right out of the moment! Very "tell, don't show" phrase

Paddington Bear: Creature of the Night

It's like the cybertruck of sneakers

I am so bad at answering your questions. It's when Macduff realizes Duncan is dead in Macbeth, and calls to Duncan's sons. He says he can't describe it because what he has seen is so horrible, you just have to see it for yourself.

I had a student who struggled a bit with decoding longer words, but I worked with him on an excerpt from II.iii. When he stood up and performed his part with two other students, I was actually moved. "Shake off this downy sleep, death’s counterfeit, And look on death itself." It was so good

I like how the first one shows they took great care to use a pulley system to keep the turkey away from themselves but still placed the hot oil right next to the wall

and clean your gutters!

I did midsummer night's dream with 9th grade, and that was fun. I wouldn't do R&J. I like the story but with 14 year olds?

got my guaranteed entry for nyc 2026!

Cyber trucks are never exploding at the right times.

We always have a PD day in June, with about 5 school days left. I'm like, yeah I'll definitely implement this right away 🙄

NYC is a 3 day week. When do people cook and travel?

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

omg, the final day of the November Grand Sumo tournament was so dramatic. I experienced so many feelings. Very much looking forward to January

At least one. When I was in high school, we read one Shakespeare play every year. I feel like that's a lot to dedicate to one author, but I don't want my students to miss out on something that so central to the high school literature experience in other parts of the city/world.

Wait, I thought we were just doing Macbeth. I change my answer to "I wonder that you will still be talking, Signior Benedick. Nobody marks you"

I kinda check out in books where the narrative becomes explaining a process. You pretty much lose me at, "Then several things happened in quick succession"

If you can look into the seeds of time and say which grain will grow and which will not, speak, then, to me, who neither beg nor fear your favors nor your hate
