I don't mind outraged parents,so long as we can have a decent conversation. I gave up cynicism long ago.<br /><br />It also helps that I teach biology, not band. Life and death go hand and hand.doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-60747764839516178682009-10-04T11:00:06.462-04:002009-10-04T11:00:06.462-04:00About twenty years ago a band teacher I know was f...About twenty years ago a band teacher I know was fired for saying something like, "Life's a bitch and then you die." Parents were outraged. Your post reminded me of my friend. He was truly a wonderful teacher. Luckily, he went on to become a principal in a much smaller district.bettyhttp://bettyb.teacherlingo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-4180030552106998192009-10-03T23:09:53.614-04:002009-10-03T23:09:53.614-04:00With regards to your "will I die" respon...With regards to your "will I die" response, I have already stolen that line from you this year. Just thought I'd let you know. I said it aloud to a kid and I didn't even use your name in parenthesis.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956056168256756705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-52966847156432223282009-10-03T13:08:15.661-04:002009-10-03T13:08:15.661-04:00I enjoyed reading your post.

I teach elementary students, and the more dangerous I pretend our science lessons are, the more they enjoy them. So the question comes up more than it probably should.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
