I always just assumed that my teachers would be on a higher level of maturity than myself. I was wrong. WRONG WRONG WRONG.

Mr. Harsch (see this entry), my Geometry teacher, was talking to another well-endowed, but MARRIED, member of the staff, Mrs. Hingle. He mentioned how he would never date her because she is to "high class." According to him, and this is a direct quote, "she's not gutter enough." This offended her greatly, and a Slap ensued.

Meanwhile, today in seventh hour (the hour of my class and also the last class of the day), Mrs. Hingle got her entire class to come up one by one with notes that all said, "I'm out of your league anyway." And to each note, we sent back a rather witty response. Mr. Harsch made none of them up, as you might have suspected. That's why he didn't attend that school when he was a Younger, Less Evil Harsch.

One response said, "That's not what you said last night!" Another said, "All right, I take it back, you're not high class. You're white trash. Dirty, dirty white trash."

This enraged her and sent her flying into a little Dolly Parton Fit, so she retorted by sending back one that said, "I like cookies, but me and the Pilsbury Doughboy just don't play that." Mr. Harsch is a little on the roundish side. And I'm actually not being sarcastic, I mean, he's not fat. Just round, like a puppy.

We spent the entire hour bickering with a blonde Biology teacher downstairs. NO math. None. And to think, I actually took about 20 tests just to be admitted into this school. Someone should report this to Amnesty International.

Mr. Harsch is apparently very protective of his Male Superpowers, or lack thereof. He is saving the world by Keeping Chauvanism Alive! Right.

Also, in drama, we watched two episodes of The Simpsons and two classroom movies from the early fifties. Seriously, one was on dating and how to be popular, and the other was titled Age Of Turmoil. I shit you not, these actually existed. We watched them for entertainment. And we watched a DVD of U2 in concert, but that's something else entirely.

Somehow all my teachers are warping into Self-Extremes: if they are chauvanist and evil, they just become more so. If they are cool, then they have become a 15 year old again and allow us to do things like watch The Simpsons during class. Not that I mind that, but you know.

Once again, this is a magnet school. The best in the Great State Of Louisiana. And our teachers bicker over whether they would date each other.

I'm telling you, this sort of thing could warp a lesser person than myself.

Somehow, public school has warped my mind and contaminated it with Mass Cynicism. Here's an example:

Ode to Ben Franklin High

Every day we arrive as the sun rises
We are all walking zombies
The cafeteria food is poisoned and half the freshman die
Don't believe what they say about the grades
Everywhere I look, I see the marks of those before me
"Lesbos rock my socks"
"If you took a shit please put it back"
and "Josh is a fag."
What's the use of the slope-intercept formula in our daily lives?
We're all going to die anyway.

Heh.
