Who Needs to Know?

A month into the new school year and I just find out 2 of my classes have textbooks.

Tuesday my lazy teacher was chiding me because some of our better students are bored in class.

"They had to buy a textbook and they want to know why you aren't using it."

"Um, what textbook?"

"Oh, don't you have this textbook?"

"Nope. You.. ahem, no, I wasn't told about any text for this class. We didn't use texts last year, so I thought you would tell me if that changed."

"Well, here's a spare copy for you."

Then when I asked him for advice today on using the text for support, he asked me how I used the text last year. I gently reminded him I never used a textbook last year, despite asking many times for any text so I could see what the students should have covered. He didn't seem to believe me. Assistant Language Teacher could use a little assistence from the guy she's s'posed to be assisting . . .

Rough coupla days at the high school.

Those animals are carved out of wieners. Pretty appropriate to how I feel about now. No, I don't know what that means. Maybe... floppy and over-processed, but still tasty?
