So appalling. I’m really sorry people are so tactless and rude.

WTF?! Who would say those things? Out loud? I too have had experiences where I just want to tell a person to STFU!

Gym membership – anyone w/half a brain knows how expensy they are! I think it’s a great gift and one that I would be stoked to get. In fact if someone wanted to sign me up for one of those healthy eating plans where they deliver all the food to you, I’d be ALL OVER IT! Or sessions w/a personal trainer…oh yeah, I’d be all over that too. Oh, sorry, didn’t mean for this to turn into my wish list.

Let the haters be haters – they wonder why they never come across success.

Wow. Insane… especially that they let you hear these things! Sure, go ahead, think what you like about me, but keep it IN your head. I can’t think of any great examples right now. Either I’m wonderful, or just unaware of what people are saying lol. I’m going with the latter

My thoughts on each of the above were more along the lines of:
A gym membership? Great gift idea, practical and a good motivator to get over the cost hump.
High test scores? Great lesson plan? Not surprised. Obviously haven’t seen you in action, but I can tell you take your job seriously and work hard to be the best all round teacher you can be.
You and Andrew? Awesome, great looking couple!
Short hair? Cute! I think you look great

Okay, so this didn’t happen to me — or today, but your entry put it in mind and so I’ll leap on the chance to make a comment on your blog. (Trying to lurk less, you know.)

My favorite teachers sister died, so some classmates and I decided to get her flowers before she flew out to the funeral. We drive the long way out of town to her house, get there, and give her the flowers.

And one of my friends says: “We wanted to get them to you before you flew, in case you crashed and died or something..”
And the other friend chimes in:
“Yeah, dying is bad.”

I think it’s the first time I’ve actually facepalmed without being sarcastic.
