Tomorrow, I've been asked to fill in for a half day at a local junior high school. It's unusual to pull down a substitute teaching job this early in the year, but I guess this one called for my special talents.
I'll be teaching grade Eight Students. The subject is Time Management.
Spit-takes are an acceptable reaction.
Mission accomplished!

How about reading this aloud, incredulous, to one's husband? Appropriate?

Ahhh! 8th Grade...my old stomping ground! Except...I was teaching English and not time management. Truthfully, I think I try to teach time management around our house as well, but no one listens. I hope you have better luck.

8th graders, hmmmm. Don't they have short term memories? :)

Great! I'm eager to see how a bunch of eighth-graders score on their chatting, blogging and golfing test!! ;)

For a week, I've been a TA Sub in 7th grade classrooms.
Susie's post and pictures about the tween years came at the best time for me.

Whoa, I didn't expect updates when I came here!
Now I need time management training so that I can fit your blog back into my busy, busy days.
(It's only fair I give you a spit-take opportunity also)

Speaking of TIME management, isn't it TIME you updated your blog?
Or did the 8th graders tie you up and send you rolling down the Devils Dip?

How did the class go?
