Introduction

I am a teacher by profession. But do I teach? That is debatable. I'm more of a ringmaster in a circus: entertaining and maintaining order. Or better yet, the top on a tea kettle, doing its best keeping the steam at bay. Except, I don't like losing my battles. So, I guess the best way to describe me is Educator of Wild Things!

And, I call my “students” Wild Things because they are socially mutated individuals. They subjected to situations most adults could not fathom. Mathematically speaking, here is the breakdown of my class: Mothers in prison + Abusive fathers + Homeless shelters + Tony Montana as your neighbors + Crack addicted grandmothers = my Wild Things. (Ask yourself, would you be “normal” if you endured this; didn't think so).

I only mentioned the above ONLY as background knowledge. It is NOT an excuse for their behavior; only to help illustrate my story.

I write this blog to maintain my sanity as well as bring humor to otherwise stressful accounts of my day.
