I've had some silly answers on quizzes and tests before. Like "The boston tea party was a tea party that didn't go very well."
I also had a student who once insisted on being called "The Oncoming Storm".

I don't think I've ever imagined the demise of a student. Even though some of them have gotten on my every last nerve. I'd like to see them all succeed. Their parents on the other hand... oh gosh. I've imagined them being forced to teach kids who's parents are JUST LIKE THEM. Especially the parents who are like "You get summers off, so I don't see what there is to complain about!"

Reports like this are commonplace. We are already there.

I think that the problem will continue to be exacerbated. It's a sad world when nobody gets upset about the pentagon buying yet another bomber they'll never use, but can't invest in the education of our children.

I spend some much needed alone time with my husband, lol. I also get to spend more time with my daughters. They're growing up so fast. I spend a lot of time swimming and tanning out by our pool. My uncle had it installed as a wedding gift, and I've used it every summer since. I could spend all day swimming!
Occasionally I take courses to further my education too. A couple of years ago I took two courses so that I could earn my masters. I plan on taking more either next year or the year after that.
In August, I run a cheerleading camp for the cheerleaders at our high school. (I also coach the JV Cheer squad, which is a lot of fun!)

No! We teachers don't go to the bathroom or eat. We also live in our classrooms, and during the summer we hibernate. (Kids everywhere are like "I KNEW IT!")
