Yes, it might discourage some kids getting excused just to goof off in the hall, but if they have to go to the bathroom it's not healthy to have them hold it and why make it an embarassing nightmare? Maybe I'm missing something?DemMomhttp://www.thepoliticsoflife.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802790462395863282.post-21358579392638768132009-05-26T10:32:13.065-06:002009-05-26T10:32:13.065-06:00My boys have decided they are never getting marrie...My boys have decided they are never getting married and will live at home forever.

I hated him and continue to hate him to this day. He is now my Dad's boss (my Dad is a custodian now) and I still don't like this man.<br /><br />(there is a long story behind that, main point is he told me I was mouthy and that high school teachers wouldn't put up with it, and I'd fail high school. I was an A+ student all through school, including high school. Take that!)<br /><br />I agree on your rules. My oldest is not quite four (only a couple of more weeks!) and I'm pretty sure that she should live at home forever and never date....Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06792414596633206657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802790462395863282.post-41384929192946515462009-05-22T11:41:35.593-06:002009-05-22T11:41:35.593-06:00I hope my daughter has cool teachers like you:-)I hope my daughter has cool teachers like you:-)Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099425493742842588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802790462395863282.post-33850014881872975512009-05-22T11:41:35.202-06:002009-05-22T11:41:35.202-06:00Teachers that use sarcasm get the best results... ...Teachers that use sarcasm get the best results... they are teaching a valuable lesson of not taking yourself so seriously!
