COLD DARK ROOM

[Killerrookie]

What in the world is detention? :/ If it's what I think, then I had a couple of third-graders who needed that!

Just sit in a classroom after school and that's it really.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

[Tidgy's Dad]

Have a great weekend yourself, you're really impressing me at the moment.
Work, behaviour, attitude.
Wish I were so good.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I took my back pill yesterday with a beer.
Woke up at 10 am.
It's a work day.

Oooooopppppsss!!!!!!
Good morning, Ed.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I find that a good cry can be very helpful. Not that I ever do.
I'm so sorry that someone that brings so much cheer to us all here is upset about anything at all.

I cry, sometimes.
Mainly whilst looking in the mirror.

 

[Killerrookie]

Possibly a global tort hunger strike for equal rights.

I wonder how long it will last. Any idea, Adam?

 

[johnandjade]

It's one step I can leave out.
Shower, shave and brush teeth in the shower.
Feed and play with the dog.
Grab a Diet Mountain Dew and leave for work.
I feed my fish and the tortoises after work.

im (working on) getting up at 0530... i'm on the clock at 0815... takes around 45min to walk in to work.
i can be up and at work in about 20mins!

Or :
None of the above.
Get up late.
Rush to work.

 

[johnandjade]

Well, I won't comment on education systems anywhere, it makes me most annoyed, but , yup, you're quite right.
Life's like that, we just have to do our best and get on with it.
Hey ho, it's mostly good though.
I love life.

and uncle adam has created a great place to discuss such things

it's therapeutic in itself and truly amazing the support provided, you WILL get through this and back on top in the blink of an eye, just keep on wibbling/swimming. ride the storm austin, come out it on top....

you don't want to end up washing cars for a living.

What in the world is detention? :/ If it's what I think, then I had a couple of third-graders who needed that!

When I was at school there were three stages of detention.
1. Lunchtime detention when students who'd been naughty were kept in to do extra work with a normally very annoyed teacher who had to give up their lunch hour. I was in this at least twice a week, on average.
2. Evening detention for more serious or repeat offences, after school with a seriously angry teacher. Rarely in this, myself.
3. Saturday detention for extremely naughty kids and a completely furious, homicidal teacher. Only did this once.

[johnandjade]

im still too scared to tell ed another thing that im battling just now as i know he would have some 'choice words'

adam has been truly awesome and even though one one of his ears works it listens twice as hard

 

[johnandjade]

Oh, Yeah. Getting here is the hard part. Work will be the easy part.

back ok today?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

But Adam you're very handsome!!!! Why cry?!?

I'm scared of mirrors, or at least the things that lurk in the corners of them.

The school where I am a governor has abandoned suspension in favour of the "alternative school day". It starts at 12 and finishes at 6. No staying at home and playing with xbox; you're still in school and learning. It's been quite successful with those who thought bad behaviour would get them an extra day of holiday.
