Imaginary Line
« on: February 12, 2009, 01:37:00 PM »
I am a 5th grade Social Studies teacher in a predominately Spanish speaking elementary school in Arlington, Texas.

I was having problems with two queen bees in my class that sit diagonally across from each other as far apart as I can place them.

I created an imaginary line in the middle of the room and told them not to cross it to go talk to each other.

Within minutes I heard reports of "illegal border crossings" from volunteer border guards.

Please don't make a political statement or flame this.  I thought this was funny and this is my only agenda.

It's times like these when I'm glad I didn't follow up with my teaching credentials after college. My wife is in her 36th year as an educator. She says that 5th grade is the worst.

It has gone too far.  The imaginary border guards are pumping shells into their imaginary shotguns.   ::)

I prefer these lines:

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.
 ;) ;D ;D ;D

That just perpetuates a myth. ;)

Ever really studied the amount these workers really pump back into our economy?

The key word is "WORKERS" not all are anymore.

Sadly, I think far more of our hard earned taxes are going to go to shore up economic woes created by our domestic white collar corporate-types.


Ah well, sorry. I let this get more political than poor Itchy intended.

Now don't go all political folks.  We begun this with 10 year olds imitating life.  They are Central Americans making fun of themselves.
