May 8 Nugget

May 8, 2015

One of my best pals (educator or otherwise) called me this afternoon with this little bit of wisdom she heard today: a student teacher asked a veteran, "when do I know I should write a referral?" (a referral is basically the written indictment against a student for a misdeed worthy of a trip to the principal)  The veteran responded, "sometime after 'f*ck you' but before the ambulance comes."

They don't teach that sh*t in teacher prep courses, but they should.
