Man you guys are way off. I admit the buggy about reading is a little misleading. It should be in a lower grade level class, but my guys are a lot older and special needs.

I can't find it but, someone post the 'Thumb with makeup' picture and claim that is how they look IRL.

All jokes lose alot of funny when you tell someone else to tell them.

Ok it is Special Needs, namely students with Autism. I didn't mean to make it that difficult.

Yeah I guess I kind of gave it away. Another day or so wouldn't have hurt would it? One of my students painted the door. He doesn't talk much but damn is he good with a paint brush. I have been tempted to commission him for some of my warhammer models. It could be considered Art Time right?

That would be sad. Our school has been here for about 100 years, so we don't have to worry about that.

If I post some pics of some warhammer models painted by my students will you all comment on them? The only thing is, they ALL have OCD. So if they get hung up on pink for my Knights of Blood, there isn't much I can do about it.

BTW they all know I post on dakka. They will sometimes come up to my desk when I am supposed to be grading their work and catch me looking through dakka's gallery.

They caught me looking at Terraformer's Chaos River of Blood today and one said, "Hey it is a Fruit Punch river! Yum Yum!"

http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/217945-Chaos%20River%20of%20Blood.html

It was a School Holidays 'School' for children with disabilities and their siblings (somewhere safe and-hopefully- fun place where noone would be out of place), so we only ever rented cos the longest we ever ran was 6 weeks over summer.
id comment dude, i always love to see painted models (especially cos i cant paint to save my life anymore :()
also loving that they know you post on Dakka! way to spread the Dakka love

That makes sense about the renting. You are talking in past tense, though. Do you all not do it anymore?

Yeah we have this huge smart board (72 inch interactive monitor). I hooked a Wii up to it for a few weeks as a reward to those who behaved. So with my models and games, I am like the coolest teacher there. I get way more out of them that any of them "others".

Nah not anymore, when i started at uni i was never back at the right times to be able to do it (eg my summer holiday doesnt always start till july so i would always miss out on a chunk of the timetable which the people running it didnt like), plus, i did it for 4 years or so but during that time all the people changed and it eventually stopped the year after i did. (not entirely sure that makes sense ). Its a shame cos i always loved it.

Show off! lol
i know the feeling though, when i started i was only 16 and was the youngest 'teacher' by about 6 years, and only the 2nd male. so all the boys instantly took to me and it was always easier for me to get them to behave than others. The Wii is an excellent idea! we only had an old Playstation and that caused waaaaay too many problems (only 2 player).

I actually used some of my faculty senate money to pay for the Wii. I convinced them that I could use it for the exercise games and as a reinforcer for appropriate behavior. It worked pretty good. I had two students with a lot of behavior problems. Basically I used a data collection sheet that showed their progress in a few areas. They knew that if they got 10 out of 12 marks they would get to use the Wii for a few hours on Friday. Turns out, the behaviors went to zero.

Of course I didn't tell any body that i bought Twilight Princess to play on my planning period. Guess who had to do their lesson plans at home?

Since you loved the work and if you ever get the chance and need some extra cash look and see if your area has a respite care program. They will pay you a little over minimum wage to work with special needs children.

Good idea, im glad the faculty agreed (sometimes its like getting money out of a stone with institutions like that). Although (back OT honest) judging by your pic i wouldnt argue with you
Twilight Princess?........o dear *shakes head*
yeah i will, my problem at the moment is my final year exams, then finding a job, but its always been in the back of my mind to get back into it, just been screwed with uni unfortunately.

Finish them exams and get your career going. You will find some time eventually.

Also back on topic, I am not always ex-convict looking. Here is a Monday morning, (the other was a casual Friday):

Yeah man thats what im hoping will happen, only 4 weeks left and im 'free'!
was only joking with the convict thing, just saying you look like you would stand up for your class/students, as you should
id post another (less beer-involved) pic of myself so i look like less of a drunkard, but i dont like any of the others (im a bit picky cos i dont like the way i look lol)

The beer one is cool. Don't worry about it. Now if your were drinking out of a Tactical Nuclear Penguin bottle, I would worry.

I just googled that.

I was hoping someone would google that. At 32% it is the world's strongest beer. Heck they store it in barrels in Antarctica.

What IPA are you getting? If you haven't seen it, get him one of these:

Yeah but check the alchohol content. It is close to the same amount as a bottle of Vodka. Of I am not sure how big the bottle is. If it is 12 oz. it isn't worth it.

EDIT: They are 330 ml. That is about the size of a standard bottle of beer. Ouch! It must be good...

330ml, dont know what that is in oz. lol
the alcohol content is pretty sweet

330ml is a can of coke.

still dont know fluid ounces though lol

Here i am the one on the right =)



And here i am the one on the left kinda

Just photoshop in a vodka bottle and you'll fit a good 90% of the Russian stereotypes!

Yeah I do. I really get into the whole Halloween costume thing. I went as Darth Caedus last year. There is one around here where I am shaved and have a tie on as well. I am the master of disguises!
