"Students Say....Sequel"
Birge-Bytes: Sequel to "Aging Benefits"....
1.You quit holding your stomach in no matter WHO walks by!
2.You sing along with elevator music!
3.Your eyes won't get much worse.
4.Your "joints" become more accurate than the National Weather Service.
5.Your secrets are safe with your friends cause they can't remember then,either.
6.Your supply of brain cells are finally down to a manageable size.
7.You can't remember who sent you THIS list.
8.The MOST Important thing: Never,never,never,under ANY circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night!!
The really sad part of this is that most ARE true.:(
"Growing old is not upsetting....being perceived as old is!" Mrs.B.
Sequel to "Kid's Say the Darnedest Things...to Me!"
They said: "teacher's don't check work thoroughly so we just "fill space" in for homework!"
My Comment: This is something they have learned from lazy or horribly
overburdened teachers and it makes it harder for the students that DO the work required! Students learn quickly which teachers actually "count' it and then they will do it....
They said: "There is always a way to CHEAT!"
My Comment: How Sad that today...it is only when you get CAUGHT that cheating is wrong! Do NOT keep ANY tests,Keys,Security stuff ON
YOUR DESK TOP. They will send someone up to talk to you and the other one will snap a cellphone picture of your "Key"; now everyone has it by one click of their phone.
They said: "Punishing a WHOLE class with work or homework when only
two or three are disruptive is wrong"!
My Comment:This causes big resentment of the teacher and even the good students will rebel over this.
They said: "We are sneaky....don't TRUST us!"
My Comment: This student was actually trying to "protect me" for what they knew happened daily at school Most hated to hurt or disappoint me.
They said: "We can text without looking!"
My comment: Who says they are not talented! This one is funny to me cause I usually CAUGHT them...duh! If they are looking down for any
length of time, I tell them: "you are either fascinated looking at yourself
or you're advertising! Oh, and if they are "vibrating" at all..check for earphones and music! (Also "rhythmic eyeballs")
They Said: "We hate being talked "down to" like we are babies!"
My comment: This one is very very true about teenagers. They ARE between Child & Adult and very sensitive about "who" they are becoming. By the way, NOBODY likes being talked DOWN to;any age.
Conclusion: (A)There is a "light" here recently,tho. I started to observe
the kids that are "used" by their "friends" starting to resent it! They work
SO HARD for their grades and then their "friend" may even make a higher GRADE on it! They will "loan their work" out to a "friend" who is
absent the day it is due and THEY lose points for not having it to turn in.
(B)I was almost wishing they wouldn't tell me as much as they did but they
seem to be getting tired of the "moral breakdown" today as I am! GOOD.
P.S. THE DUMBEST RULE EVER MADE IN SCHOOL???
"Let Teenagers HAVE a cellphone but tell them they can ONLY USE IT
before or after school or at lunch! ( Impossible to enforce 150 students.)
By the way, parents, those of you that call your child DURING class time
encourages even the best students to break the class rule BEFORE Cell
Phones, EACH room has THREE ways to get to your child quickly in an emergency...(1)Intercom button (2)class phone & (3)administrator to the classroom. MOST teachers would protect your child to the utmost of their ability and we are trained for Shut-Downs and Evacuations.
The Greatest "gift" they gave me was no discernible Generation Gap
between 17 and 70. I treasure my memories with them.
