Okay, so Paul didn't get his hair cut, which is why there are no before and after pictures. Maybe tomorrow morning or (who am I kidding?) Saturday. I know he doesn't want to take the time to get his haircut, but it is getting dangerously long. Soon a ponytail with be necessary.
Let's see. Any other lies I've published? I'm dying my hair on Oct. 30. My mind was pretty much made up when I solicited votes, but the appalling apathy of voters today sealed the deal. Shame on you, the voters of today. Your apathy will only lead to further tyranny of my life. I hope you can bare the guilt!
On an amusing note--particularly for Mom--Paul has an awful class on Fridays. The other days another teacher has them. Anyway, very early on Paul came to the conclusion that the only way to establish any authority was to bust the kid at the top on the social hierarchy so far down he would never see light again. This is how he described it to the rest of the us: "You have think of it like prison. You just have to shank the biggest guy around to survive." Now whenever I really bust down a kid--especially when it's as much as to send a message to the rest of the class as to correct that individual's behavior, all I can think about is "I'm just shanking the biggest kid. Sorry, [Name]."

I like your new method so much that I am going to try it myself first thing tomorrow. Too bad that Nick is going to have to take the hit . . .
I'm sure he'll understand. It's for the good of the class. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
My kids are already known to murmur,"This is just like a prison!" to which I reply "Then earn your way out of the system." (We have a level or points system where they can earn their way to out classes) Or," But you never mark so and so for doing that!" To which I reply, "Hmm", Because I'm usually doing what Paul says, shanking the biggest kid/problem. But, I can't tell the student that so, "Hmm" is better.
