OT: Teachers of Boneyard...Back to School Time

[Hey Adrien!]

Of course Hey Adrien is a math teacher!! Based on his work on the BY I will wager a damn good one too.

Thank you, sir!

I have missed 1 day this year. And had two PD days. Every day I'm absent we end up with 5+ suspensions. At this point if I'm sick they can just put me in the nurse with a mask and I can wag my finger at kids who misbehave from a bed

Same with our school ever since the return from winter break. About half of our kids are international students and many travel far and wide during vacations, so to quote my primary care doctor: "you work in a ******* petri dish."

Case in point, in my seventh grade math class, six out of thirteen kids have missed 12+ days of school so far.

Anytime I see a kid put their hand to their mouth or a finger in their mouth I tell them the top two places for a kid to get a virus or bacteria are schools and hospitals. In the Lego Club that I lead, I had to tell a girl to wash and sanitize her hands a half dozen times in a half hour span because she kept poking her finger in to wiggle a loose tooth.
It's funny because the kids at my school really like me and want high fives, fist bumps and the rest and I may do an 'elbow bump' because I stand there watch all the gross things that they do.
