Chapter 12: "FAIL"

I think I'm finally getting the hang of finding and posting to my blog, despite the evilness of Google. I'm gradually settling into my new schedule, and although the children suffer greatly from my general stupidity, I feel that I am a good and just teacher.

Student A: "You're very pretty."
Me: "Ok, you pass."
Student B: "You are ugly."
Me: "You fail."
Student C: "The cat are in the table."
Me: "That's completely wrong, but you have Inuyasha on your shoes, so you pass."

All shall love me and despair.

As a side note, if you know any foreign exchange students who took the TOEFL (test foreign students must sit to get into an English-speaking university), you should fear and respect them. They may not sound like they're that good at English, but I teach one class from the TOEFL test-prep book, and that mother is hard. Like, SAT-level hard. And think about taking the SATs in some other language.

If Google gives you too much trouble, consider WordPress. I just transferred my blog over there (it'll even import everything from your current blog). Impressive features, too.

And, I like your grading scheme. I always knew those silly grade breakdowns professors tell us about were completely made up.
