mockingbirdqOookay.... My administrator FELL ASLEEP while evaluating me. My students thought it was hilarious, but managed to keep quiet until he woke up and left the room.
Um... does that mean I shouldn't expect a good evaluation???
Meanwhile, I found an odd website www.boatswain.nl (don't ask how) that has post mortum photographs of victorian children. Yep, DEAD kids. Very odd. What's weirder are the comments people leave about angels (umm... kids aren't going to look evil when asleep or dead, duh?) and heartfelt notes people leave that this child is "so pretty and it's so sad he/she is dead." The jerk in my wants to point out that a) it wouldn't be sad if the child was ugly? and b)the picture is from 1866- the kid would be dead by now even if they hadn't died then. I'm not trying to say these photos are heartrending but the over sentimentalizing of some child in a photo one has never met is a bit odd. Even odder is that collecting these photos is a hobby. Ewww @_@
