    kids next door playing cute game

    School's out today (holiday). The kids next door were out playing a game of tag, with a few twists. Hubby was out working on the deck and he said it took him a little while to realize what they were saying. When he figured it out he almost fell off the deck (two stories up) laughing!!

    Tag You're IT -- IT is a monster. When the monster catches someone, that person turns into a MATH TEACHER!! I guess that was the worst of horrors to wish on anyone LOL

    I laughed till I hurt from laughing!

    math teacher?

    That is a new one! For this, I sent my daughter to a private school?

    Surely they don't know Bitsy since she is far from a monster. I think. :-)

    I had a kid in my class at the beginning of the year who viewed me and my subject (both, not either or) as a monster. He wrote some rather disturbing things on some papers that he handed in. I brought them into his SPED meeting to express my concerns.

    His mother laughed when she saw them and explained that I was the monster that he described. He is/was so fearful of math that he couldn't function in any of his classes. As it turned out, he was only operating on a 3rd grade math level (he is classified 9th grade). He was removed from my class and put into remedial math (which we call Local Curriculum).

    I had never thought anyone could think of me as a monster before that day. What a shocker! Apparently, he isn't alone in his visions.
    I've heard that four out of every three people have trouble with fractions.

    It might not count as a monster, but today one of my students said I was a Visigoth.
