YOUNG PEOPLE!!!!

I had to put this quick rant up..... So on my free weekdays I occasionally work as a Substitute teacher.  On wednesday I filled in for a P.E. teacher at a middle school mind you.  There are two things that I need to comment on after that experience.  the first is the all out audacity of some of these young people these days.  I won't say I never had some thoughts about an attractive teacher from time to time back in my juvenile days, but no way in heck would I have even thought about acting on them.    So why is it I had little 7th and 8th grade girls pushing up on me?!  OMFG!!!  I about had to get a water hose out on these little hot mommas.  Asking for hugs and trying to get all in my business.  Had to issue the quick verbal smack down and stay in plain sight the whole day. It's a shame.

Now the other incident is just as bad but on a totally different level.  The very last class of the day and everyone has been getting along.  8th graders? No problems.  7th graders? No problems.  7th and 8th graders mixed together? Absolutely no problems!  6th graders?  Drama spectacular.  Towards the end of class the  Blacks all of a sudden had issues with the Hispanics.  The Blacks are fighting/crying mad and the Hispansics upsetting and talking fast as can be.  Somebody said the hispanics called them the "N" word in Spanish and I'm glad they can identify some Spanish vocabulary, but come on we need to get past that.  Besides, it didn't help his case that he said to his friend "Nigga, they called me a nigga in Spanish!"  Okay WOW.  I told them all they need to lay off that word and my poor misguided brown little brothers said they are proud of what they are.  (My take, I am not a NIGGER, NIGGA or any variation of it and you call me one and you will only do it once.)  Seriously though, I don't know why there is a rift between  the Latino and Black communities.  We are all brown folks and should get along.  Our cultures aren't all that different.  

ANYWAY... I will surely have more to say in coming weeks.  LATERS
