I'm one of the worst Thanksgiving meal-eaters of all time. Generally, my Thanksgiving meal consists of: turkey, mashed potatoes, a roll, and some salad. Not a big fan of all the other stuff.
Even though I'm off of work for the week, I thought of more "funny" things high school-ers say:
Addressing me:
"You remind me of Flo from the Progressive Insurance commercials. You should tryout to be a guest star in one of them." - P (and P is the 4th student who has likened me to Flo).
"Why do you always make that same face when you dance? It looks like you're so serious. And your dancing is terrible." - S
"You're one of those 'weird' teachers, but in a cool way." - B
"Since you like hairy men so much, why don't you just marry a gorilla?" - B
"We've started a club called the 'Fat People Krew' and you should be in it. But you're not fat and we get that - skinny people can be part of it, too." - C and G
Happy Thanksgiving!

I figure that even if no one reads this, it's exciting to get my thoughts and experiences written down for memories' sake. So here we are - the first one of its kind - a blog by Candace:
Teaching high schoolers at the ripe-old-age of 26 can be a little daunting at times. Luckilly, I have a sense of humor and am able to see the joy and fun experiences that come with being a teenager, even if it does drive me a little crazy once in a while! Some of my favorite "funny" things students have said recently:
As we were correcting a misspelled word ("missunderstanding," which needed to be corrected to "misunderstanding"), W asked, "Which 's' in missunderstanding do we eliminate?"
C said, "I'm always late to class because I'm fat and it takes me a long time to get here." (Not true, by the way.)
And, when asked to write an essay on a life-changing event, H wrote: "The First Time I Tried Carls Jr.'s Western Bacon Cheeseburger."
There will surely be MANY more to follow...
