Today in one English class, (with two kids facing court on who knows what charges, we got off on whether the older teacher, who told someone on the STAFF that she had gotten a jury summons, (so how did the KIDS come to be discussing it???) would be called in on their cases. Everyone decided since she'd taught everyone in the area and several in the next school district as well, that she'd have to be excused for knowing the perps/victims. As the discussion continued, it turned out that she'd taught one fellow's FATHER and another girl's mother, just in one small class. She'd told one boy about talking to his grandfather about another member of his family, and after a bit, he said, "I think you really need to be talking to my son." Oops! Flipped a whole generation... The boy really loved that story, and was telling it to everyone. Now, that's putting down roots. I wonder if I'll last as long

Last updated 11/19/15 Standardized heading, revamped organization, added second space after end punctuation; 3/26/10 Clarified material on why Despina's class was discussing another teacher, which sounded quite unprofessional, the exact opposite of my point... and added a wish at the end. Chained into novel and added to TOC. 1/6/10.
