Arh, Arh, Arh!! Way too funny Trees!! Cheza - I'm sure
you'll be thrilled to get back to your students!!

Yeah, wait until I hand back their research papers - if I ever get them done. They're taking me about an hour to an hour to a half to grade ONE PAPER due to the mistakes!!!!

Plus, now that we're studying Antigone I have the challenge of getting them to read aloud. My supervisor is coming to evaluate me within the next couple of weeks. A hellion from another hour just moved into my class that seems to have came straight from the hellmouth...and let's just say the whole Oedipus and Iocaste saga (Oedipus unknowingly murdered his dad and married his mom - if you have not studied it...they had four children: Eteocles, Polyneices, Antigone, and Ismene. Later Oedipus found out what he did and poked out his eyes and died and Iocaste hanged herself. The two sons, Eteocles and Polynieces killed each other in a battle seeking power in Thebes *to condense it* and that sets up the conflict between Antigone and Creon in the play we are studying) led to one dropping the F-bomb the other day and me having to get on to him...even though * * It cracked me up because of the look on his face...and this was in my biggest class...I think I'm up to 28 or 29 kiddos in that one...and hellmouth is up to 27 or so.

Plus, I don't have enough books for everyone. So, I guess I'm going to have to take a textbook and run off copies of the play for the new non-text kids (i.e. ones who failed last year's spring semester) to use.

The rest of the semester we'll be working out of my personal library.

Today was the best day so far this week and tomorrow is Friday. Thank God!

I... told... you... that... I... have... a... run... on... sentence... issue..., ...too.

I... am.... an... writer...

creative... as... can... be.....

however.....I...need...help...with...the..editing...

thank....you...very....much...Mrs. Cheza...............................................................................

Just kidding. I realize the issue is there, I just was one of those students that honestly never understood the rules. I didn't have any help at home with homework. Moreover, my english teacher never made me feel stupid for asking questions (she thought I should know). I never learned...so here I am. Creating with no rules...he..he..he

*brings out red pen* You asked for it!

I told you that I have a run-on sentence issue, too. (comma not really necessary in this usage)

I am a writer. Creative as I can be. (since the first sound in the following word is a consonant sound...if it were a vowel it would be the indefinite article an)

However, I need help with the editing.

Thank you very much, Miss Cheza. (I haven't found Prince Charming yet)

Maybe I'm better at this grammar stuff than I thought...

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

*confused* Do you mean you're teacher just expected you to know it all or what?

Thanks Cheza for wonderful explinations... As you know I was just pressing the English Teacher Button ;D Sounds like you and pussywillow had a fun time. Also sounds like your a Great Teacher ... even with the red pen!!

Starcossed and I *cough* along with others, will be able to learn a lot from you [img src="lovehammersecards.com/MCorg/smilies/heart.gif"][/IMG]

Modified to say Yikes!!! Miss Cheza.... Not the red pen for Star!! Didn't she mention a medical reaction when red is seen all over her grammer paper?

Goodnight Miss Cheza. I will see you in detention Sunday....

[Cheza]

For this, I think you deserve Saturday school next weekend! You're not supposed to be here!

[starcrossed]

[oceancat46]

btw - since this is a grammar thread - the word is "pact"

sorry - just the proofreader/editor coming out of hiding

Actually - as long as we all know what cha mean - in a place like this - doesn't really matter ----

[Trees]
