That last post was more bitter than it should have been. In actuality I like quite a few of my students, and I really like it when they swing by and say hi in the halls and whatnot between classes, or when I see them after school. It's just a handful that make things more difficult than they need to be. I definitely wish I could curse in the classroom, I think it would make me more effective. Also if I could duct-tape kids mouths shut and epoxy them to chairs. And control the weather.
