  2. Ivy- So Mr. Freeman asks Melinda to stay after class to work on her art project she was trying to do during class. I asked him if I could stay too I mean I needed to stay and get working on my clown project, it is just so difficult because of my fear of clowns. So he said I could stay, haha Melinda you’re not that special. Well anyways while we were working on our projects I passed by Melinda’s…..hers looked really good, I mean it had a lot of meaning and effort into it. I wanted to say how great it looked so I opened my mouth but no words came out and I felt like an idiot so I just closed my mouth right away and went back to my seat. After a while I noticed that Melinda noticed that I was about to say something. So I got worried thinking that maybe she thought I was going to say something mean or tell her that her project looks ugly. So I just blurted out how great it looked because I didn’t want her to think that I was trying to be mean. I was about to talk to her before class ended but the bell rang and she left before I could even call her full name out.

  3. I am Ivy.

    Today Mr. Freeman let Melinda stay after class to keep working on her project. I also asked if i could stay later because i have to draw clowns, and I hate clowns! I will conqure my fear!!! Melinda was doing great, I walked by, I wanted to say somthing but I didn't know what to say. So I just keep working. Mr. Freeman was really enjoying what she was doing snd started to watch her. He asked her what it said to her. she had a frightened look. But Mr. Freeman told her what he saw. Then I walked over again. Melinda was working really hard, then she spoke, she asked for some small sticks or twigs to use as as arms. i was going to say something again but I relly didn't know what to say. Then finally i said "It's scary in a weird way. Not clown scary, um, how do I say this? Like, you don't want to look at it too long. Good job, Mel. I hope she didn't take that in a bad way. I was tring to be nice. I wish I could come up with good ideas like that.

    Mr. Freeman
    Wow, Spectacular, amazing, outstanding, Melinda she has a true gift and gift she hasn't realized she has. Her creativity is just wonderful. The emotion she put in her creation is fantastic. I have never seen anyone put together a piece with such passion. Great job Melinda. Great job!

    I am sick of all these kids... I try to do something a little
    different today and it doesn't work.. Nothing I do works
    I can't get my own son to find a job, and when I try to bring
    a real like situation in class it fails, they get carried away
    and think to much about it. I don't let them speak because I
    don't want to hear "smart" comments from them, I don't want
    my students proving me wrong so I stop them from talking.
    All these kids really don't care about my sob not having a job
    so why do they have to talk?? I made up the debate and I
    could end it at anytime..

    ..whatever

Well something must have gone wrong because people took it to the next level. Next thing i know that David kid is trying to act smart. I am sick of this. I am considering on retireing.

  7. Mr Neck:

    These are the most disrespectful snot nosed kids I have ever taught! I can't have a simple group debate without them insulting me and my son! My son deserved that job. What do these kids know about my son and if he's lazy or not!? I need a vacation. I need to get out of here...

    Today in art class, I was working hard on my clown project. I think I'm started to overcome my fear of them... anyway, I asked special permission to skip my next class so i could finish part of my sculpture. Melinda had a cool bizzare turkey tree thing she was working on that she stayed behind to work on too. I almsot made conversation, but I couldn't. I don't know why... I'm really not that mad about the whole party ordeal. I was just scared. Finally, I tried to tell her I liked it, but it came out sort of weird. I hope she doesn't think I hate her. I really want to ask whats up wit hher, but I'm a scaredy cat.. I don't want other people to get mad at me for talking to her.

  10. Mr.Neck:
    How can these kids think to judge my child just because they think that hes maybe lazy!!!!
    humphhh... if anyone knows my kid like i do and i know for sure that he didnt get the job because he was lazy but because the people who could have hired him were racial weirdos and i think that this nation is turning on us!!!!!!!
    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

    I cannot believe how much nerves David has to open his mouth like that in my classroom. One more comment and i would have him sent to the principal's office! I am sick and tired of all these kids that think they can just speak their minds!

  12. MR. NECK: Damn teenagers, all open-minded and what not! I bring up a debate topic about those border-jumpers and half of the class turns into the "Equality for Immigrants Group," or something like that. I just wanted to know why my boy can't get a job 'cause of them! Then stupid Petraski dares to stand up to me? He just walked out of my class! That boy has some serious Hell coming his way.

  13. Ivy-
    Today, I asked Mr. Freeman if I could stay another class period, because I was trying to conquer my fears of clowns. Melanie asked for another class period of time, so if she could get it, I know I could too. I walked past her when she was working, and she was working on some turkey/tree thing. I tried to make a conversation with her, but I just couldn't. I don't know why, because I'm not that mad at her. I finally told her it looked good, but came out really weird. I think she knew what I was talking about, or at least figured out that it was positive. I was trying to be friendly, but it just didn't work out.

    Mr. Neck-
    These kids are driving me CRAZY! I try to do something fun and exciting in class for once and the turn it into something about race and insulting my son. Then that David Petrakis kid starts talking about the constitution and how I am not respecting their rights. I really don't know what I am going to do with these kids. I really really don't.

    I cannot believe the nerve of this David Petrakis geek! What position is he in to say that my son might not have deserved his job as a firefighter. This is why America should've closed America's borders in 1900. To stop these little bratty, annoying immigrants from coming into our country and stealing all of our jobs! I'll make sure that he'll regret his little comment about the first amendment. He can take his little first amendment back to wherever he came from!

    Mr. Freeman

    I am really starting to see something in Melinda. She can really think like an artist thinks. It was really interesting watching her make the sculpture out of turkey bones and other things. Maybe she is starting to understand what I mean when I say that art is the only class that teaches you how to survive. I can really see her becoming an artist someday.

  15. Ugh!!! This teenager as the adacity to say that my son didn't get the job because he wasn't good enough for it, and then he says that white people have been bringing america down. After my ansesters worked their butts off to make this society how dare Mr. Petrakis say such things. Well I think that it is those immigrants who is bringing America down, stealing our jobs and CRAP!!!! They should of closed their borders in 1900. I swear HE WILL SURVE A VERY VERY LONG AND HARSH PUNISHMENT ABOUT HIS OUTBURST!!!!!

    ay ay ay! these childeren are on my last nerve. They pretend they dont get the assignments i give them! I have to speak English because the children know NOTHING about spanish. Some times i wish i could just take them to Mexico and see how they like it when no one can understand them! Oh, thats a good idea. But the students wouldnt go.....ay! I guess im going to have to start on the basic of spanish with them.

  17. Ivy:"After art class I heard that Melinda was missing Spanish so she could work on her art project more and I wanted to miss Spanish to so I begged Mr. Freeman, the art teacher. When I saw Melinda's project it was really scary and creepy, but really good at the same time. It was weird. I didn't want to say anything but I had to her project was pretty good surprisingly."

    I heard that Melinda stole some passes so now she can skip class when ever she wants. That's just biggest load of carp that I ever heard. First, she calls the police, and now she wants skips class, what a b word. If she thinks that is making her any more pouplar, she is totally worng

    "Melinda no es linda!" haha...that's a good one. Ooooh I haven't heard one like that in a while. What a joke! However, all they do is joke in my class! They make me feel like I am just playing a game. They talk-back and say stupid answers just to be funny. Except for Melinda....Why is she always so quiet.
