| Some thingsI originally wanted to post something but then I forgot, and in the meantime rediscovered igoogle, and some of its gadgets. Under "tools" they have a calorie counter that features a little picture of a SPAM MUSUBI next to the burger. Yay! Spam musubis are infiltrating the world food culture... muah hahahha....
that is all.

| Views from the other sideSo as a teacher, I am constantly abused by the parents of the students that I teach. They blame the teachers for their son or daughter losing their bookbag, coat, cellphone, not getting an A, not understanding math, etc. The strange thing is, I am never attacked for not teaching the math. Nobody argues with me there. Thank goodness, but I'm so tired of myself and my coworkers being blamed for things wholly out of my control. I cannot help you if your child is talking, cursing, hitting, and conducting himself in a generally unacceptable manner and horses around the entire class period, refusing to listen, participate, take notes or actively attempt to try the new skills or apply the new knowledge.
Enough is enough.
But while looking for legal work in education, I found the following:
How to Solve Problems and Protect Parent-School Relationships
- Pete and Pam Wright offer advice about how to resolve problems with
the school by restructuring relationships, learning effective advocacy
skills, using strategies in letters, and learning to negotiate and
persuade. Learn why Pam says, "You need to view your relationship with the school as a marriage without the possibility of divorce."
Now, if only the parents of my students read that--hehehe.

| Getting my tax return done.Dah! I am so confused about everything. I don't know where things are supposed to go and according to icanefile.org I owe NY State over a million dollars so they've got a computer glitch.
The IRS website isn't much help either, http://www.irs.gov/publications/p970/ch01.html#d0e710
Although, according to them, I qualify for free efile--dude. This really bites.
On the other hand--I have rediscovered my love of large tables, libraries, and free wifi. (And it's too cold to go outside anyway).

| Simple thingsI don't get stuck on bath products usually, but I have to say that I have a quite the crush on my "need a margarita" sugar scrub. Yummy. Okay, so you can't actually eat or drink it, but it's definitely better than the real thing--no hangover!
