English Class

English Class at my school is the ecstasy of chaos, and a good majority of the time, I'm the trigger for the chaos. I admit. I'm a bit of a hypocrite. A bit of an attention-seeker, but I sometimes have relevant thoughts that I can't help but share. In other words, I criticize whoever wrote our worksheets... and the state standards... and the American School System... and on occasion, my classmates. And this is where my hypocritical attitude seems to pop out to my classmates. I point out one of their mistakes (bluntly) and then they decide that the next time that I make a mistake, it's appropriate to point it out (rudely). I get lots of groans from the other chillens, every time I open my mouth. And sometimes, it's just word vomit that I'm spewing into everyone's ears. A random thought I that is *somewhat* in relation to whatever it iswe're discussing that I just can't stop. I occasionally do wish that I knew how to just shut my big fat mouth and sit there like everyone else, but when I do, I feel a little bit like a clone... or a chess piece. Not identical, but still not much different, moving to where ever my owner moves me, even if I'm put in danger by their decisions. Still... I'm starting to think that my diarrhea of� the mouth is getting out of hand. I'm going to try... *try* to swallow some self-control supplements and keep the passageway shut until I get home and can let the word vomit happen here. On this computer. Ugh. If only it were as easy as it sounded. Here's today situation (in play form)-


������������ ENGLISH CLASS- 3/30/10 (Haha: 30/3= 10)
(SCENE 1: the class is playing a board race. They are
reviewing capitalization. MARIAH scowls at the stupidity of
a teach telling them to take their time on their work and
then doing board *races* with them.)

MARIAH: He forgot a period. It shouldn't count.
AUSTIN 1: Oh my gosh, Mariah!
MARIAH: She said it had to be *correct* with *correct*
capitalization. I assume she meant punctuation.
ACCUSED (sorry, I forgot who it was): Nu-uh!
PERSON RACING AGAINST ACCUSED: Yu-hu!
(CLASS breaks out into random chatter about how idiotic
MARIAH can be)
MRS. JONES: You're right, it doesn't count.

(SCENE 2: MARIAH it is MARIAH's turn. She looks at the paper
with the sentence being copied and writes as she looks on.)
AUSTIN: (pointing out the obvious) She's writing and looking
at it at the same time!
JAMESON: Take your time, you've got time.
ALEX: I tried to do that, but I lost. (His handwriting was
illegible.)
(MRS. JONES starts talking with MRS. DANIEL quietly. MARIAH
finishes her sentence and tries to get MRS. JONES' attention
to verify her victory)
MRS. JONES: (finally looking over) You forgot the question
mark. (There had yet to have been a sentence that was a
question, and MARIAH had been caught off guard. CLASS breaks
out into chatter.)
MRS. JONES: And that was a Mariah thing! If you had been
sitting there you would have pointed it out! Taylor wins.
(CLASS agrees)
MARIAH: Yes, I'm human! I make mistakes!

NARRATOR (MARIAH in a cunning disguise): Although, MRS.
JONES always disagrees with MARIAH, the CLASS doesn't always
disagree.

(SCENE 0: [Because MARIAH was too lazy to change the order]
of the two scenes. The CLASS is grading their homework from
last night.[This too is over capitalization.] PERSON
ANSWERING THE QUESTION is listing the words in the sentence
that are supposed to be capitalized.)

PERSON ANSWERING THE QUESTION (may we remember them next
time D;): The, Henderson, High, School, Band, Patton Park.
MRS. JONES: (shaking her head) I agree with all of that
except for "band".
JAMESON: Wait, what?
MARIAH: It's being specific. It said "the *Henderson* High
School band", not "the high school band". You said that
things that were specified had to be capitalized.
(Random CLASS members break out in agreement.)
MRS. JONES:(glossing things over so that she'll look good)
No, I said that applied when talking about the school, I
never said anything about the band.
(CLASS groans because most of them got it wrong.)

NARRATOR: (MARIAH in a cunning disguise.): So there you have
it. The tale of the immature student English teacher and the
class disruption, who still gets straight A+'s in English
and writes like no other.
