Today was a time to laugh. A time to laugh so hard you cry.
In a PLC meeting comments were made about how one of the teachers had a coffee stain on his pants. This particular teacher tends to say "poop stains!" as an exclamatory phrase on a regular basis. At one point during the meeting he said this...and eventually he came to the realization that the alleged coffee stain on his pants wasn't a coffee stain at all.
That's right. It literally was a poop stain, courtesy of his son's diaper.
We laughed so hard we cried. Thankfully I didn't wear eyeliner today, or I would have had make-up streaming down my face.
Later today I learned about a lesson that this same teacher held in his Spanish class. He was teaching his students words like corta (cut) and pelo (hair). So...he actually told a student to cut his hair. Yep. A student cut his hair in class. When I asked him why he would do that, what was his response?
The more memorable the experience with the word the more likely they are to remember it.
I'm sure those students will never forget the day their Spanish teacher had a chunk of hair cut off the top of his head...especially if they noticed the poop stains on his pants.
