Teaching is Fun!
I can’t say that I was surprised when I was called into the Principal’s office.
“Hey Mr. Neederschmidt,” I said coolly, “How’re the boys this morning?”
I was of course, referring to his testicles.
“Not well Greg,” he replied, “You’ve really done it this time, you’ve really crossed a line. I’m afraid I’m going to have to fire you.”
“What? Why? What damn-ed lies have people been telling you!” “I just call a call from an angry mother saying that you stapled a Burger King application to her son’s math test with the phrase ‘Might as well get used to being a failure’ written next to his grade.” I laughed.
“And?” I said smugly, “So what? The kid got an F. He actually got an 11%!”
I was shocked that he was bringing this shit up as a legitimate topic of concern.
“I normally wouldn’t have a problem with it if the children were older and understood that particular brand of humor…. but you teach third grade. I’m afraid I have no choice. It’s become apparent to me that you’ve been doing this with every failing test you’ve passed back to your students. And what the fuck are you teaching calculus to third graders for anyways?”
