Brian Regan!


A while back I bought tickets for Ryan and I to go see this comedian, Brian Regan. He is so funny! and best of all he is not vulgar or crude. It is good, clean humor. So tonight we are off to go see him live in Blackfoot! I am so excited! It should be entertaining and a chance for Ryan and I to go on a date without the kids. YAY!

Here is a link to show you just one of his acts. He sure makes me laugh.

Bring Back Corporal Punishment in Schools???

Okay... so I have a story for ya! On Thursday we had a teacher who called in sick. Her sub was just a small little Hispanic lady who seemed very nice. As other teachers from the building walked by the classroom they noticed that it was very quiet and thought, WOW! That sub has great control of the classroom. (This class is a very noisy class, and very obnoxious, and it is not the teacher's fault, they are a hard class) Anyways... We all thought "We need to have this lady come sub more often cause she really knows how to get a hold on the class." Well, the next morning a few of the kids from the class came up to their teacher and said that the sub spanked one of the boys in the class. At first she thought "Yeah Right" but then, more students told her the same thing. She finally decided that she needed to ask some of the more "reliable" kids in the class. She pulled them all separately and they looked as if they might cry as they told her what they had seen. Come to find out, the woman pulled the boy out of his chair and spanked him hard, "Like a mom would spank you if you were in trouble" said one of the students. No wonder the class was so well behaved. They were scared out of their wits! So I say if we can use corporal punishment we might just have some well behaved classes. Cause let's face it... the kids nowadays (with some exceptions of course) are disrespectful and they are "hard". We don't have the parental support that we need, the kids don't listen, a lot of them are mean. So now to finish the story... the teacher has to file a report. But, here's the sad thing, When the boy went home and told his mom that the sub spanked him, his mom just said "That wasn't very nice was it?" She didn't do anything about it! Sad huh?
