Dorks!

Why are some kids or people dorks? Is it because they want attention? Is it because they are bored? Or just are clueless that they are being dorks?

I have a student today who could not be quiet if his life depended on it. I'm not sure what the deal is? The weather? He's making noise of all kinds-from sucking on his pen so he sounds like a slobbering pig at the trough to guzzling all the water and air out of his water bottle so the plastic crinkles and makes noise! Then wants to go fill it up. I don't think so.

I don't expect complete silence but come on, listen to yourself kid! Especially when everyone else is quiet and working!!!!

And one more thing....if you ask to go to the restroom before the period starts and again during the period, I really don't want nor need to hear a detailed explanation of what has or is going to come out of your body. You just better make sure you need to go if you are going again less than 15 minutes later. We are not in elementary school, get a little control over things.

Ahhh, the joys of working with high school kids who someday, I hope, will look back and think about what dorks they were.
Yes, I said dorks!
