We are currently on winter break, but I had a few left over posts from the last couple weeks before the break.
"I need to blow my nose."
Ten Minutes then picked up the box of tissues.
I know, it's that time of the year. I'm dealing with sinus issues and a cough myself. But no, he doesn't get the classroom's full box.
We compromised. Ten Minutes took five tissues.
Later in the period, I noticed movement near Ten Minutes. He and the girl two seats over were throwing tissues at each other.
Naturally.
(He looked miserable. I thought he was actually sick and needed multiple tissues. My mistake.)
I'm surprised there's a box of Kleenex in the classroom. I know at schools my kids have been at in various cities they had to provide their own Kleenex or parents had to at the beginning of each semester bring in a box to share with the class. Figures they would make a game out of it.

Oh brother...I would bet they were not clean tissues either...blecchhh. reminds me when I would go to high school and have to go to the one washroom and look up at the ceiling only to see tons of wet toilet paper thrown up onto the ceiling. I hope you are feeling better
ReplyDeleteI am, thanks. This is why I won't go into the student bathrooms. Thank goodness that the staff are a bit more responsible with our bathrooms.
DeleteHe probably did need the tissues. But of course there was an opportunity to make trouble and he had to take it.
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope those ones getting thrown weren't used! Imagine the spread of boogers!
ReplyDeleteYou can't tell with these kiddos. I'd assume the worst.
DeleteAs a former reader of MAD magazine I have only one comment: yeccch.
ReplyDeletePrecisely.
DeleteOne of my son teacher had each student bring there own box of klenex and kept in there desk.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
ReplyDeletesigh...kids...
Yup...
DeleteIt seems kids will find any way they can to goof off, but tissues? Wow...
ReplyDeleteThey'll throw anything at each other.
DeleteHi Liz - just glad you're feeling better and now I know why teaching never appealed! Good luck this year - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteIn my once-upon-a-time days of high school, our history teacher sent a girl to the principal's office for taking a tissue out of the box on his desk without asking permission.
ReplyDeleteI would never waste facial tissues this way. My nose is forever runny. :)
ReplyDeleteHe had to know I wouldn't give him any more, too.
