MRS snaggletooth

today was her son's birthday.

so without calling, sending a note, without her son even TELLING me she was planning on stopping by, right when we were about to begin SCIENCE and there were only twenty effective minutes left to the school day, she stops in the room with a tray full of cupcakes!

i believe i've made my cupcake policy QUITE CLEAR.

earlier this year, a girl's mom had brought cupcakes and half my class ended up with frosting on their faces.

so today i threatened them: if one of you so much as has a SPECK of frosting on your nose, YOU ALL are staying after school to clean! they all gasped.

and there were no problems in regards to that.

but still, if you're going to interrupt my class, it would be appreciated (and POLITE) to let me know ahead of time so i can let you know when would be a convenient time to interrupt my class. maybe she had spoken with the principal beforehand, because today there was a "principal walk-through." basically there are two principals from other schools walking around the building with clipboards. they pop their heads in your class for probably fifteen seconds at the max, and give you a score based on those fifteen seconds.

most of the times they stopped in on me were during "transition" times. read: switching from one thing to the next, where there tends to be a bit of noise until i manage to bribe everyone into being quiet. so i guess it's good that mrs. snaggletooth waited till the end of the day. otherwise god knows those principals would have walked into my class RIGHT AS everyone was getting excited about cupcakes being passed out.





and i have to have a root canal :-(

at least i can hope for n!trous ox!de, or v!codin at the least?
