I need to stop using the phrase "good student."
For one, it’s too broad a term. “Good” how? Do they listen to directions well? Do they have insightful questions or answers during discussions? Are they classroom leaders? It provides zero worth to the description of a student. For two, it implies that there are bad students as well, which isn’t fair to the kids. To define one student as good, you have to have something to...

What I learned today →
I love learning about stuff- always have. And it’s been a goal of mine for some while to learn something new every day. Sometimes, it’s pretty insignificant, sometimes it’s incredible. Whatever it is, I’m going to start sharing with you, dear readers.

Nice try, Jocelyn
Jocelyn: Mr. Watkins, can you tell me what impact the Axis propaganda had on the still-neutral United States' morale and moral code?
Me: Jocelyn, are you asking me, verbatim, to do your homework for you?
Jocelyn: ... No.
Me: No?
Jocelyn: ... I'll try to find it in my book.
Me: Good girl.

The 10 Most Racist Moments of the GOP Primary (So... →
One cannot forget that the contemporary Republican Party was born with the Southern Strategy, winning over the former Jim Crow South to its side of the political aisle, and as a backlash against the civil rights movement. This is a formula for a politics of white grievance mongering and white victimology; a dreamworld where white conservatives are oppressed, their rights infringed upon by a...

It’s come to my attention that not all of you boners know what I’m talking about whenever I use the nickname The Sooner State. What?

To clear things up, I’ll give all you dear readers a quick breakdown of how my home state, Oklahoma, earned its byname so maybe you...

Hey guys - I went to the dentist yesterday and we were talking about Sonicaires. The dental assistant said the Sonicaire representative was there recently and reiterated the importance of using the Sonicaire with a very gentle touch - kinda like holding a flute - or else it is designed to not work properly and will not vibrate like it’s suppose to. Just thought I’d pass that piece of...

Alondra: I'm going to put you, Mr. Watkins.
Me: Ha! What? Why? Explain.
Alondra: Well, you're very clever.
Me: Well thank you.
Alondra: And you're not racist.
Me: Right.
Alondra: Also you're white and you have blue eyes.
Me: Did it say Huck Finn had blue eyes?
Alondra: I like to imagine he did.
Me: Fair enough.

"Mr. Watkins, I'm worried about you."
Me: What do you mean, Clarissa?
Clarissa: Well, you've been coughing all day.
Me: Yeah, but don't worry, I'm feeling better already.
Clarissa: I'm not worried about your health, I'm worried mine. I don't want you to get me sick!
Me: You're very sweet, Clarissa.

My trip back home was pretty eventful
Lots of catching up with friends and family, driving all over the place in my truck I miss dearly, etc. Which is why I haven’t been posting much lately. Apologies. Let me make it up to you by showing you a picture of the Christmas gift I got four of my little cousins. They were so excite, you guys. Their dad wasn’t as happy though. Greg: That looks like a- Me: Yeah. Greg: So you...
