frustrated cleaning

I've spent the last two days cleaning my classroom and back storage areas. As the biology teacher, I get a life room (where I'm suppose to keep fish, gerbils, etc) and a back workroom (a giant storage room/office for the bio, chem and Ag Science teachers). Both of these places are completely trashed with junk. The biology teacher I am replacing is ( Read more... )

If you want to get rid of those old books, I'd gladly take them. What a terrific way to introduce scientific process... what used to be and what we know now...

The books are mine. It is my only compensation for spending this time cleaning. You can have the millions of paper I threw out... think of the worlds biggest bonfire. Or do you want the film strip projector... think of the shadow puppet games you could play? Or do you want the hundred of not so well perserved animals/insects... think of the people you could gross out?

Yep a 700 page book over every organism. As Glenn the dying teacher said "A grasshopper is still a grasshopper, but apparently lobster is not a lobster, sponges are very confusing and bacteria, if you can't see it, they aren't there."

Plus a 1200 page book on everything there is to know about everything. Could you imagine the day after that book was publish and someone discovered something else and the author's hand hits his head.

If you had left Mattawan and applied for CHS's Chemistry position, those books could have been yours. Looks like you'll have to enjoy the dot-matrix paper instead.
