This week hasn't been any worse than some of the others. I just get frustrated with so much incompetence, especially with those who are suppose to lead us. Let's see. There was an electrical fire in the Family and Consumer Science classroom, well not really a fire but smoke. We were evacuated as soon as we got in the door, then all clear, then evacuated again because one principal said the fire department gave the okay, then another principal says the fire department says no, it's not all clear. Good thing the whole school wasn't on fire. On Friday, we had a tornado drill which took forever. None of the kids wanted to get on their knees eventhough I explained earlier how important this is. I went as far as to grusomely describe what just happened in Tennessee and Alabama and no one seemed to care. It is so sad to see students have no compassion for others. I guess they think they are exempt from anything disastrous ever happening to them. What is the world coming to!!!

  1. i know how you feel...we were not in a drill we were in the real deal..it was storming something terrible, and we found out the next day there was a funnel cloud in lafayette..out kids fussed when we made them face the wall and none of them wanted to be quiet or get close to one another to make room for other students..several actually said if they heard a tornado they were running to their car and gonna "outrun" in...the invincibility and stupidity of youth!!!! we we like this once?

  2. Sounds like you had a tough week. Perry is right, teens do feel invincible. This is the toughest time of year to keep up moral and strength. My advice is to pick one day a week, and give yourself an hour or two to do something nice for yourself-- something that will de-stress you and/or make you feel pampered.
