Today’s Thursday Thirteen Topic…….Thirteen things I would love to say at Parent-Teacher conferences tonight!

(These are meant to be funny…….as this has been a rough week! I don’t feel this way about my students! But, wouldn’t you love to tell parents exactly how the kids act in class some days!?!??! This time of year – 3rd quarter- seems to be when LAZY becomes a new special ed acronym! 8th graders are fried……have spring fever…..and have high-school-itis! They don’t want to work, participate, or even be in school! How many more days until spring break?)

1. Since our last conference, this student has reached rock bottom and has started to dig.
2. I would not allow this student to breed.
3. Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap.
4. He sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.
5. This student is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
6. This student should go far, and the sooner he starts, the better.
7. He would argue with a signpost.
8. He brings a lot of joy whenever he leaves the room.
9. If you give him a penny for his thoughts, you’d get change.
10. It’s hard to believe that he beat out 1,000,000 other sperm and made it to conception.
11. He is one neuron short of a synapse.
12. It now takes him 1 1/2 hours to watch 60 minutes.
13. This young man has delusions of adequacy.

ok, I’m done venting……..
