544 – Teachers

[RANT]

In our state, our Governor is trying to change how teachers tenure works, allowing teachers who have been doing a wonderful job for many years, to be laid off or fired.

Now, my daughter is a high school math teacher in our town. The stories she tells us about parents that just don’t care, drug addicts (students and parents), dysfunctional families, and other home problems that make me want to cry. It seems, most parents just don’t give a damn about their kids education any longer, and if a teacher even looks at a kid the wrong way, the parents are ready to sue the school system.

When I was a kid, if a parent sent home a note, I got an ass whooping. Now, the parents come in screaming at the faculty that the teacher is incompetent. What's wrong with this??

My daughter has seen students outright lie to their parents in front of her about what goes on in the classroom, and she has no support from superiors.

Instead of changing the law, our Governor should ask the parents what THEY’RE doing to ensure their kids get the support they need at home.

On to something funny:

Counseling

After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife came for counseling . 

When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the years they had been  married.

On and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of 
unmet needs she had endured.

Finally, after allowing this for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking the wife  to stand,  he embraced and kissed her long and passionately as her husband watched - with a raised eyebrow.

The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze.

The therapist turned to the husband and said, "This is what your wife needs at least 3 times a week. Can you do this?"

"Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I fish."

Ear Infection

They always ask at the doctor's reception why you are there, and you have to answer in front of others what's wrong and sometimes it is embarrassing.

There's nothing worse than a Doctor's Receptionist who insists you tell her what is wrong with you, in a room full of other patients. I know most of us have experienced this, and I love the way this old guy handled it.

A 75-year-old man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached the desk. The Receptionist said, 'Yes sir, what are you seeing the Doctor for today?'

'There's something wrong with my dick', he replied.

The receptionist became irritated and said, 'You shouldn't come into a crowded waiting room and say things like that.  '

'Why not, you asked me what was wrong and I told you,' he said.

The Receptionist replied; 'Now you've caused some embarrassment in this room full of people. 
You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something, and discussed the problem further with the Doctor in private.'

The man replied, 'You shouldn't ask people questions in a roomful of strangers if the answer could embarrass anyone.

The man then decided to walk out, waited several minutes, and then re-entered.

The Receptionist smiled smugly and asked, 'Yes??'

'There's something wrong with my ear,' he stated.

The Receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice. 

'And what is wrong with your ear, Sir?'

'I can't piss out of it,' he replied.

The waiting room erupted in laughter.

Mess with seniors and you're going to lose!

Have a great weekend all!
