I'm not good at the whole gift-giving thing. Don't get me wrong, I give good gifts, but I have a really bad tendency to want to tell the person about the gift I just bought them. I've spent the last month and a half walking up to Brian and asking, "Hey, do you want to know what I just bought you for Christmas?" The dumb thing is that I'm always shocked when he tells me "No." Why can't I just keep these silly things a secret!?!

Top Secret!
I'm sitting here at Parent Teacher Conferences and am feeling like poking my eye out. I take that back, I feel like poking both my eyes out! So, naturally, I blog.
Here's some of the best kept teacher secrets that I'm willing to risk my skin to share with you:
1: Before Parent Teacher Conferences, they stuff us full of sugar in hopes that we'll ride the high for the the four and a half hours that we sit here. To put it simply, they drug us up.
2: When we say that your student is a good kid, we mean that we could actually hang them from the roof of the school by their ankles and leave them there through Christmas break and not even think about it once while we're away.
3: We don't want to talk to the parents of students who are doing well in our class. Surprise! It's generally only the parents of the good kids that show up, so, we don't need to have this event in the firstplace.
4: Teachers listen in on all of the conversations that are taking place around them and we are all going to go home and tell our spouses everything we heard, including the student explaining to the parent that they "really have all their work turned in, the teacher just hates me and wants me to suffer."
5: We might look official with our laptops on the table, but we're really playing fantasy football, online poker, and of course blogging!
Shame on me...
