Matty: “Yes”

Matty: “Yes”
Cm: “When does this stop?”
Matty: “November?”
CM: (wide eyes, mouth gaping) silence
After collecting a note from a student having finished her test:
“Didn’t you say we could do anything as long as we didn’t talk?”
“I did say that.”
“Well I wasn’t talking.”
“Hmm, yeah. You’re right. Go ahead and pass that note!”
“Really?!?”
“No. Notes are never allowed.”
So apparently after the football game, the “pop gun” I heard was actually a real gun. About 50 feet away.
Police have identified two suspects in an incident following a football game Friday night during which several gunshots were fired on the Forrest City High School campus.
Police have recovered the gun believed to have been used in the incident, but no arrests have been made. The suspects, according to police, are 14- and 15-year-old Forrest City juveniles.
The football game had just ended when a fight broke out between the fieldhouse and the high school, according to witnesses.
Officers responding to the gunshots said everyone believed to have been involved fled the area before they arrived, but witnesses identified the suspects.
While searching the area, officers found the weapon, a .22 caliber pistol in a ditch near the band hall. The pistol had “six spent rounds in the chamber,” police said.
No one was reported injured, and the investigation is continuing.

So, I just found out that our football coach is Charlie Ward. He was a Heisman trophy winner from Florida State and also played in the NBA. He later became an assistant coach for the Houston Rockets. Why is he at our school? I don’t know. But, I think it’s cool and wanted to share!
Fear mongering WORKS, damn it, and this is PROOF. Down with Obitler/ Obalin/ Mussobama/ Barack “Hussein” Obama/ George W. Bushama/ Darack Vadama/ Maobama Bar Akung (in China, they FLIP NAMES… crazy Asian fascists)/ Count Barackula/ Mahmoubama Barackinijad/ Genghis BaraKhan (coincidence? I think not)/ Yokobama/ Polbama Pot!! Palin 2012!
“Thinking about my kids in school having to listen to [Obama’s speech] just really upsets me,” a suburban Colorado mother, Shanneen Barron, told CNN affiliate KMGH-TV in Denver.
“I’m an American. They are Americans, and I don’t feel that’s OK. I feel very scared to be in this country with our leadership right now.”

One of my students, having just completed a quiz, is now using the tattered scraps of his just-discarded scratch paper as a covering for his eyes. Naturally, as he presses the balled up paper into his eye sockets, he sways back and forth, making small humming noises. Oh sixth grade, how I appreciate the fact that this is the time when even the most embarrassing, boring activity can be transformed into a spectacle for others.
