One of my first years of teaching, I was in the middle of class when a student from another period stormed in on his cell phone yelling. He ran up to me and put me in a headlock with the phone on my ear. The person on the phone was his mom. They were both angry that I gave him a failing… Read More

Was going to say that literally most of these occur daily to teachers.

Odd numbers of individual pieces in groups are more aesthetically pleasing. Also, lighting fixtures look better when hung as low as possible.

I must disagree with number 16. As a high school teacher that plans and annually chaperones trips out of the country, my (very real) students gain SO MUCH from the experiences we have. You can literally see the change in their mindset happen! Yes, the trip are expensive, but we do… Read More

A long time ago my boss made me come into work during one of the worst snowstorms in years to call ex-patients to see if they wanted to schedule an appointment. (Totally pointless and completely unnecessary) When it started to get really bad outside, she refused to let me leave. After… Read More

The episode that Shonda killed off Derek in Grey’s Anatomy. I had watched every single episode loyally until after that one. The way it was done and just everything about it was terrible. After that aired, I stopped watching it entirely. I got over all of the other previous bad ones… Read More

I am most frustrated and annoyed when students don't put appropriate effort into studying or homework and then whine that I didn't teach them anything. They complain that their poor grade is all my fault. If you paid attention and did what you were supposed to do, you'd be in a much… Read More

Sheet protectors and a dry-erase marker! Make/print out an unlabeled picture, definitions/words, whatever. Stick it in a sheet protector, and label it/fill it in over and over! I used to study like this, and now I suggest it to my students (high school and college).

The episode Derek died was the last episode I watched. I had watched every single episode faithfully prior to that. For 2 years I discussed it weekly with one of my students. After that episode I vowed to never watch it again. I couldn't and I haven't. Of all of the character deaths,… Read More
