A student said, "I find Mr. McKeon comforting. He looks like Santa Claus, but instead of giving presents, he tells us that Abraham Lincoln didn't beat his kids."

Which is true. Lincoln was seen as too easy on the boys, by his 19th century neighbors.

be elated they didn't compare you to loki (the 'real' one not the marvel nonsense); remember what he did to poor tanngnjostr or tanngrisnir (i forgot which one)

I'm sure there are plenty of mythological figures one would NOT want to be associated with.

Coyote is always up to something - sometimes he does good things and sometimes he does bad things but...never a dull moment!

Several students were sprawled in the hallway refusing to go to period 6. The bell rang(for period 7, they were all in that class). I asked them to come to class and they did. "How did you do that?" asked the period 6 teacher, "It's beer tasting Wednesday." I replied.

For my kiddos I would do my own rap and dab but only if they were good in class. \o/
