I can't spell the word religious or tomorrow for shit (I forget, is it legit for me to curse here? I can't do it at school, and sometimes I don't really talk with adults much during the day... I need an outlet) when i'm writing and both get written on the board at school all the time. They come out fine when i type (see: religious, religious, tomorrow, tomorrow), but i'm baffled as to how to spell them in 2 inch letters on a white board, which the kids can't read anyway because of my atrocious handwriting. I had somebody come into my class to observe me as a new teacher and offer hints (9 months into the year, go Nimitz MS!) and one of his top 5 was to practice my handwriting. I refuse.

Class Discussion

Me: "Okay, so how di Martin Luther disagree with the Catholic Church?"
Kids: "He thought they should let black people in"
Me: "Ok... no. You're thinking of Martin Luther King... He was named after Martin Luther"
Kids: "Was Martin Luther his dad?"
Me: "Uh, no... look at your textbook, there's a picture of Martin Luther... do you notice any ways he's different from Martin Luther King?
Kids: "He's bald?"
Me: "Um, how about Martin luther was in like 1500 and white, Martin Luther King was black and doing stuff in 1960"
Kid: *belately waking up* "They made Martin Luther a King?"
Me: *Shoots students, self*
