Teaching Jitters...
On Monday I start student teaching in middle school. I am so damn nervous. Mostly it's because I still think I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. I can see it already:
"Excuse me, Mr. Morris, who's the 36th president of the United States?"
"Uh...Albert Einstein, or something.... I dunno Asswipe, like go look it up or something..."
"But you're supposed to know...you're a teacher, aren't you?"
"Errr..."
Anyway, I need to come up with a list of great comebacks:
1) That's a great question, Billy, perhaps you should consult your history book for the answer.
2) Oh, come now, Billy...give it some time, it'll come to you....
3) Now, Billy, I can't give you all the answers. Might I suggest you add www.iknowmypresidentsbyheart.com to your Favorites list.
4) Excellent question, Billy. Perhaps you and Sarah can put your heads together; you're bound to come up with the answer sooner or later.
5) Billy...Billy...Billy--don't tell me you've forgotten our little presidents jingle. Just think of the 34th and the 35th. It should just POP right into your head.
6) Billy, I suggest you write down your question, fold it up into a nice little square, and shove it up your keister. Don't ask me such menial questions--that's what the Internet's for. Geez, get a clue kiddo!
Okay, I guess that's a good start....

Good lord... look at all that spam! You have my sympathies dear... I delete anywhere from 10-100 messages a day.
And I have a suggestion... how about just looking up the 36th president before class? ;)
