Hmmm....And Why is There a Teacher Shortage?

This is appalling.

Even if prosecutors can prove that this woman maliciously exposed children to a few minutes of pornography in the school, how are they going to prove that this case was worth the time, money, and effort that has been wasted thus far?

Truly, these kids won't be that scarred for life.

I have been scouring the Internet at school looking for resources on the American Revolution with popup blockers, adware & spyware programs, "safesearches" and the like, and I still get questionable images showing up on the computer.

Honestly, if these kids can survive the school cafeteria, they can survive anything. Due to the snow storm, we had an "early dismissal" today. Which means that we had four students in the morning for about 90 minutes and plenty of time to kill. So we volunteered to work in the school cafeteria since none of the cafeteria helpers showed up. So yes, that was me in the corner, yelling at kids to not run in the cafeteria, breaking up mini-fights, opening pudding cups, and wiping down tables. What fun. I had forgotten how formidable elementary school cafeterias (cafeteriae?) were. And the smell of pizza and broccoli...ugh.

But still, it was better than sitting in the classroom, checking out the Internet and fearing that I may be prosecuted and sent to jail for 40 years if I went to whitehouse.com instead of .gov.

Grrrrr.
