It has taken some time, but the students are really starting to warm up to me. That being said, one student may be warming up a little too much.
R: "Mr. A, you finna sleep over at my house this weekend?"
Mr. A: "R, I don't think I can do that. It's not really appropriate for teachers to sleep over at their students' houses.
R: "Why, I ain't finna do nuthin' dusty, my mom said it was ok...she'll make chili dogs yo."
Mr. A: "Hmm, well I do love a good chili dog, but again, it's really not appropriate for a teacher to sleep over at a student's house."
R: "Have it your way. I'm finna be munching out on chili dogs while you're home by yourself on a Friday night."
L: "Ohhhh, you just got straight roasted Mr. A!"

As a former student of the Minneapolis public school system, and having a father who taught 5th grade for a number of years, I have to say this is by far the most enjoyable blog I have ever run across in my time on the internet. Please don't let someone steal this and turn it into a best selling book before you do.
