Oh Those Prying Eyes
I cannot believe that I am having to do this, but due to some recent smarmy comments, ratings, and an e-mail from an idiot, I am going to move all my blog posts to a seperate, password-protected blog.
Now, I am no fool. I know the concept of freedom of speech in this country is a joke. I have read stories over and over again about how employees are fired for having blogs and writing about their co-workers, bosses and companies. I did not think this blog was searchable, but imagine my surprise when I did a search for my name and this was the first thing that popped up. While I don't give two shits about students reading this site, because I am just as honest to their faces, I know how two-faced and venomous some students can be. And although there used to be a time when stupid student complaints would go unheeded, nowadays, in the age of consumerism where I am told to change grades so as not to rock the boat and to keep less-than-prepared students happy, that is not the case anymore.
I see no reason to be fired. So if you want to read about my gripes and my student stories, all you need do is go here . It is not a public blog, is not searchable and unviewable by troublemaking students. I will still not name students, just to protect my own ass. The password is relatively simple to people who know me. It is the first and last name of my theatre idol. If you met me after a certain point, you probably won't know the answer. So if that is the case, or you just forgot, e-mail me and I will tell you what it is.
Enjoy. You get to read some of my posts from when I taught high school. They were interesting to go back and read.
