"No, deaw hooman. Look into my eyes. You see? I dun need wash."

I don't know how things are for teachers in the U.S, but in Germany teachers are government workers and as such have good benefits, and great job security. They are nearly impossible to fire.
In The Netherlands, I don't believe they're considered goverment workers, but they ARE extremely difficult to fire. Last yr I had a part-time job at a high school next to my studies, and one teacher had been receiving a lot of complaints from parents and students for several years. Instead of firing him, the school was obligated to put him through a course (while he continued teaching, mind you!) to help him teach better. This course took near 3 yrs to complete, and by the end he was still shitty. Only then were they able to fire him then. (By this time he'd been doing a shit job for nearly 10 years!)
All this to say that some people don't become teachers to teach, but to receive job security, benefits and a little status.

Question to all the Latino FS'ers; is there some special song you sing on Quinceanera? The way people would sing 'Happy Birthday' on your b-day? And if so, would you sing it?? :))

But.... It would be a shame if you used up all your resources by 30 and then limp in broken and bloody and wishing you'd paced yourself so you could have seen a little more of life...

Deer have goat eyes! I never noticed before today.

This is me my whole life. I've gotten in trouble more over things I DIDN'T do than over things I did do. Because unlike what people around me believe, I CAN lie. Apparently I can't truth, though. And that's where my problem lies.

And walk around with it untill you see a brick that is a slightly different color than the rest...

My face when my boyfriend decides to surprise me with my favorite candy :D

I'm having a weird day where posts are accompanied by songs. This one unsurprisingly is:
"Strike a pose. Strike a pose.
Come on, Vogue! Let your body move to the music, hey, hey, hey!"

I'm blue dabadee dabedai dabedee dabedai...

Smart doge, he chose the path of least effort that would still result in getting the treat.

This one is never not funny.

I fukkin hate Carl. Douche.

Yeah. Except I don't need a hug, or reassurance, or chocolate.

Foxes are SO beautiful! Why's the internet so full of other animals?? It should be a haven for all the cute friggin foxes!

Sign me up for Hogwarts NOW!!!

I feel sad because the cookies look like failed mini-pizzas. No cookies should look like failed mini-pizzas.

So he closes the post by telling parent's to encourage children to read, but he never explained how he managed to get HIS kid to read...
I'll tell you how my teacher encouraged me to read; she read from Roald Dahl's ' The Big Friendly Giant' and always stopped at the point where it got exciting. I got so fed up with her antics I decided to get the book myself and read the hell out of it. I moved on to other Roald Dahl book's and even when I finished all of those I never stopped reading.
.
TL;DR
Frustrate your kids by reading a great story and stopping when it gets really exciting. Repeat untill you kids say "screw you" and get the book and read it themselves.

Much sexy

It's beautiful but a little Grimm...
