My favorite story I have yet been told.
A (male) student: "I wanted to get my ears pierced but my mom said no. Actually, my dad said, 'No, because one ear means gay, two ears means bisexual.' But then two months later he got both of his ears pierced, so..." -
mix tape of my sister's life
I am trying to put together landmark songs from different parts of my sister's life as a birthday/graduation/welcome to adult life present. I've been trying really hard to make it more of a list of songs that really define certain ages and events rather than songs that encapsulate the 90s or whatever. Just posting what I've got so far so I can ( Read more... ) -

I don't know how widespread this is in middle schools, but I just learned today that the schools in my district don't have Social Studies classes anymore. Geography, world history, etc. -- that stuff isn't on the standardized tests so they just stopped having the class.

Young adult manga series?

Overheard in the library: "Hey! Don't call me boy! I'm a kid! A boy is older."
Also, I was doing inventory today and for some reason almost all the Dr. Seuss books had been moved to the section of books about drugs. I thought that was funny. -

One of the (male) fifth graders accidentally (as far as I can tell) ordered a a gay romance manga, hahaha. There was nothing terribly explicit in it but there was some heavy petting so I had to send it back. The kids have very little idea how to order books, they usually just put in a keyword and order the first things on the list. Like one fifth ( Read more... ) -

I got a job at a middle school library and for whatever reason, the only websites that I frequent that the firewall here at work doesn't block are my e-mail and Livejournal. I have a lot of downtime so I am reading through the 100 Most Interesting Wikipedia Articles and listening to audiobooks. I'm listening to the A Wrinkle in Time right now, ( Read more... )
