"Youuuuu well haf blud ohn yurrrrr haaaaaands!" screamed the crazy Scottish broad to a dance studio filled with 100 8th graders.
Why on earth was a woman with mad hair, a beaded hippie bag and a Scottish accent so strong that I was concerned it might be contagious telling a bunch of 13 year olds that their actions were dangerous enough to kill somebody and put blood on their (in some cases pre-) pubescent hands? Had they been peddling drugs to one another? Had they been holding Fight Club meetings during recess? Had they been playing Frogger with the traffic on the nearby high street?
No. They'd been doing Jesus arms on the stairs.
Let's rewind a bit.
I am a teacher in progress. Join me as I reflect on my life, religion, children, my own schooling and on education across the globe. And by "reflect on" I usually mean "make fun of." More importantly, join me as I create a list of superlatives for my church surfing adventures. Let profanity and blasphemy flow free!
