Hey - after the messages you've gotten, I figured I'd say something as a fellow teacher. The reason I love your blog so much is that your posts express things that I've wished I could say to my students or coworkers. No matter how much someone loves this job, it comes with a lot of frustration that teachers can't always speak about or openly show. I like seeing that so clearly expressed in your posts. Thank you!

Thanks very much for your message!

Yes exactly: just because we love something doesn’t mean there are things that can be annoying about it! And quite frankly I think the gag expectation on teachers is ridiculous. Like guys, guess what, we have feelings and opinions about things.

Although, I have noticed I’ve been a bit more negative recently on the blog than balanced, something to work on, but I’ve also been seriously overworked lately and when teachers have very few actual outlets, it kinda tends to come out on here. 

Keep on keepin’ on fellow teacher!

Judging by Tumblr posts - I imagine that in real life, you know a lot of awesome and exciting stuff, and I'd have a lot of random questions to ask you.

Oh man, I’ve really managed to pull a fast one on tumblr, haven’t I?  That said, you can always ask me random questions and I’d be happy to try and answer them.

Hey! I just wanted to say that this blog is awesome. I see so many of your answers, and they're always kind, supportive and encouraging - telling people to accept who they are, and that it's okay to be the way they are. Keep up the good work!

And thanks to all of you for interacting with us and sharing your stories and experiences. You all are as much a part of this blog’s community as well!

foxyshambles replied to your post: A film or book that you found genuinely terrifying or disturbing?

I loved The Wasp Factory. Pet Sematary gave me nightmares, and is the only book to ever have done so.

I refused to read it after watching the film D:

I did read 'Salem's lot' though, but was genrally bored and confused the whole way through, so didn't pay much attention to the horror of it. lol
