I had a hair comment this morning from a student in my first period class:

"Miss! [they never seem to remember our names; we are all "Miss"; wonder what they call the men teachers?) Did you have a fight with the hair dryer this morning?!"

Well, I washed my hair this morning and put coconut oil and aloe in it and let it air dry. My coconut oil was mushy from being left out of the fridge, so I think I got too much when I scraped up a little. I tried to put as little as possible on my hair and massage the rest into my hands. It's also really humid outside, and my hair is wurly beyond belief.

I just glared at the little booger and said nothing.

Meh!

Well what a little stinker, maybe he can stay after class and be teachers "helper" muahhhhhhhhhh

[Poolsoflaughter]

Yeah, sometimes they're just looking for a reaction, so as a cool French lady recently told me to do to people like that, use the "talk to the hand" technique!

[Lixie]

Don't they call male teachers "Sir"?

Anyway, I agree he was probably hoping for a reaction. What a wee brat, I'm sure your hair looked perfectly fine.

Nope...it's "Mister". I work in a college, and I'm forever shocked at the mental ages of these COLLEGE kids. MEH is right.

Oh my, how rude! How old was the little brat?

Now, see, I must be a bit different. I recently started teaching and if a child said something like that I'd probably be hard pressed not to laugh. An adult or teenager now-they should be respectful, but little children typically aren't malicious.

I heard a comment by an employee of a ladies clothing store the other day ask a coworker what was going on on top of her head!!! (meaning her hair). It looked fine and I told the other girl so after she got away from her coworker! Now THIS came from an adult! Good grief! I tihnk I would have found some reason to give that kid a note to take home!

!

Remember the good old days when kids actually had to be POLITE to adults??!!

The "little brat" is a sarcastic "little" 15-year-old male!

I suppose I should be more offended than I am over it, but I learned a long time ago to take things those kids say with a big grain of salt.

And about the "Miss" thing . . . if I mix up their names (it does happen; I have about 170 students), they are highly offended. But they only have at most 8 teachers to get to know. And they call us "Miss."

Oh, I do have one kid in another class who has taken to calling me "Teach." I respond by calling him "Stude" (for student).

First thing in the morning, though, I'm clarifying and doing a good SMT. Meh!
