K... feeling very Ilya Kuryakin today ... which, in my head, is a good thing...
So I've had a pretty good - but busy - day.
A whole lotta interesting feedback on the hijab - headscarf thing... and as usual I've learned all kinds of new things.
So... thank you. :)

Two 13 year old boys are suspended after intentionally pissing off their grade 10 teacher (in a town near here) and capturing his rant at the class on a video phone then YouTube'ing it. The teacher is at home on "stress leave" and ... is out for blood! Something about suing for "character damage".
BWAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA.AA.A
Sucka!!!!
Damn... I heard the vid sound track... and yeah, kids can be assholes ... but the bottom line is this:
You can make all the rules you want, but kids are going to break them. If they break a rule... you can release the appropriate measures on them ... detentions, etc. But the "fact" of the video being out there... is a great big "screw you" moment, as far as I'm concerned.
Kids are captured on video all day long... schools with cameras, shopping malls, walking streets, ... everywhere. But most especially... in school. It's nice to see them turning it around on the "man" for a change.
And if you lose it so badly while managing your grade 10 class... even if they're being ass holes ... the I personally think you're past your prime as a teacher. There are a million ways to control a class room of kids that would not embarrass you all the way home-for-stress-leave if caught on tape and shown publicly.
It's a school.
It's all about rules.
So make one and be done with it.
And stop crying about some kids putting it in yer face.
Loser.
And no, I'm not a grade 10 teacher and yes, I realize it can be difficult to manage a class.
And your point is?
