Ponderings

Thoughts from the first days of school…
1. Why does it seem that teenage boys cannot keep their shirts tucked in? I have seen students tuck in their shirts when asked, then not a half a minute later untuck it… and the process repeats.
2. Why do teenage boys seem to want pants that are about 10 inches to big around the waist?
3. I dont understand the word goochie at all
4. What do you do when none of your students seem to know how to use a ruler?
5. Why do I have a little baby ironing board when I have real grown up clothes?
