The End of A Semester.

At the end of the semester, after spending approximately 80 hours with one teacher, it is expected that you learn a lot about the subject. But in that time, you also learn a lot about the teacher, if you care to notice. Last semester I cared to notice. I remember things that define the character and heart of a person. Another way to really get to know a person, is to listen. Now you are probably thinking, but Alayna, aren't you supposed to listen to your teachers? Why yes! I am glad you asked. But if you are always listening, you'll hear something special. And so, for this reason, I have compiled a list of "Teacher Quotes." Things teachers say when they think you aren't listening, or won't remember. It says a lot about a person..... that, and some of them are really funny.

Ms. Welsing: "I have a blind autistic kid in second hour who was able to do this (better than you.)" 9/30/11
Oh, the woes of an art teacher.

Mr. Bressler: "I don't like teachers. I'm an educator. Teachers are babysitters with books."  9/9/11

Mr. Eubank: "I'd like to take his scrawny little pony tail, and yank a little knot in it." 10/6/11
Some background is needed for this quote to make sense. This is when Bonanza was going through the terrible scheduling disaster, and they were trying to shove more kids into his already over-full third period AP class. The counselor in charge of these schedules has a pony tail.

Mr. Bressler: "Yes. Feel free to worship me."
The same schedule-freak-out-day, everyone was talking, and shouting out, and asking questions about all of this stuff, and once everything settled down, Mr. Bressler told us something. To prevent the councilors from combining all of the AP classes and ruining peoples' schedules ( Honor Physics, Student Council, etc.), Mr. Bressler volunteered to give up his Creative Writing class. He has been fighting to get this class for his entire career at Bonanza, and he gave it up for us. Now he is stuck teaching English 2 that period. My respect for him went through the roof, which inspired the transcription of this quote.

Ms. Barnish: "I talked to God this morning. He said he's busy, and doesn't want teenagers to call him out or use his name in vain."  12/7/11

Br. Bressler: "Is this national kiss-up day, or something?"  12/9/11

Ms. Barnish: "Hindsight is 20-20. Foresight is ... narrow-sighted." 1/4/12

When a girl in my class asked if Mr.Bressler wanted a cupcake. It was her birthday.
Girl: "Do you want a cupcake?"
Mr. Bressler: "No thank you. I'm allergic."
Girl: "To what?"
Mr. Bressler: "Kindness."                                          Epic.

Mr. Bressler: "I'm an 'equal opportunity' hater."

Mr. Eubank: "It's all in how you view the squares"      <--- relating to different viewpoints of history.

And there you go.
