preparing to sleep through the teachers’ boring lectures no doubt

first year of college we had math teacher, and you can’t make this up, who fell asleep during one of his lectures

Yesterday we found out that a good friend of ours will be teaching at our younger daughter’s high school.

Where I live at school now starts less then 2 weeks of vacation next week, teacher’s preparing classes, then next week in-service, and what kids been waiting for first day of class.

she’s practicing sleeping in class?

My wife’s a high school teacher – she isn’t exactly looking forward to putting together those plans for the new year either …

Paige, you could go plant all of Andy’s tofu for her! Also- do any kids not go back to school in August? We are only two weeks from school starting here.

most teenagers in the US are chronically sleep deprived because of school schedules, it had to do with making older students classes start at the same time as elementary students instead of having a staggered schedule. When I was in middle school we were expected to be there by 7:50. I think these days schools start later to help deal with this problem.

One of my university friends taught at my old high school for a while. When my sister ran into him, she’d say “Hi, Fred, ah… Hello, Mr Slater.”
