Thoughts.com Blogs - The cardboard kids and the old bag

Seems like I have more to say about the old bag aka Mrs. France my 3rd grade teacher......

There were some colorful kids in my class and a lot of yackers....I was one of the yackers....Listen to the teacher....I would have.....I just got tired of hearing her yell at Jimmy Deal....Jimmy sit down....Jimmy quit talking....Jimmy keep your hands to yourself.....class revolved around Jimmy and his antics.

We are not far into the school season before the old bag has her first melt down....at times we are unruly.....loud....giggling.....poking our nieghbors with pencils.....throwing big pink erasers around...i suppose she had a melt down coming.....She brings into class big sheets of cardboard.....the most problem "childs" get lined up in the back row....with sheets of cardboard between their desks.....Phew...I didn't get stuck in the back row.

All she has really done was provide a surface for the back rows art work....badly drawn pictures of scooby doo and foghorn leghorn.....squigglies.....stars.....superman.....cartoon pictures of fellow classmates.....cardboard is a distractor and homemade easel...She still yelled at Jimmy....and Terry....and Robert.....and gave the rest of us the ability to tease the cardboard kids....

Every dog has its day.....mine was only a matter of time....I sat behind this kid named Mike....he was in first row....I was in second.....Mike turned around to ask me a question.....about what it is,is not important...could of been about marbles for all I know......Not wanting to be rude....I answered him.....The old bag was probably yelling at Jimmy again anyway.....maybe she wasn't.....she heard me....not Mike.....ME.......I was the one being yelled at this time......sheesh.....for answering a question....how rude of the old bag....she placed our desks so we faced eachother.....for the rest of the school year.....Mikes a nice kid and all....but I got tired of being face to face for the rest of the year.....

Another lesson learned the hard way.....when you have a teacher thats an old bag.....keep your yap shut.....just keep it shut.....and don't make fun of the cardboard kids....you might be next in line
