Ok, so it is almost the end of the school year, so 2 things are happening.
1. The class is getting annoyingly talkative and crazy.
2. The teachers take our work off of the walls. This is partly due to the teacher strike that happened recently. If you havn't already heard about it then this is the story: The teachers were taking a pay cut and they wanted the school to say it was only temporary, but they wouldn't. The teachers were on strike for three days before the district made an agreement. Meanwhile, the kids who actually showed up to school (not me) sat in classrooms in big classes (only around 20 subs for the entire school of 43 teachers usually) and did star test release packets. I only wnet for 2 hours on the first day and didn't come after that anymore because I was doing 7th grade math questions in "class" when I am in an 8th grade math class, so that was pointless. Yes, while people were at school doing test release questions and watching movies I was at home doing homework, homework, homework, and some orange county fair stuff. My sister had so much homework that she probably wouldn't have finished it all if we hadn't had the strike.
Going back to my original topic: The teachers didn't want the subs or the tons of kids being stuck in each classroom to wreck the computers or the work on the walls, so they took it all down and put it someplace safer. This left the walls empty and the kids in my english class decided to write things on paper and stick them on the wall. Most of the posters were things like "We Love English" and "Yay for School", but a few of the kids got creative. There was one poster that said "This one goes out to all of the people who can never find a keychain with their name on it... love Darby". Another one said "An apple a day keeps the doctor away... but that apple goes down easier when it is coated in caramel :)". The last one that was creative and fun was "Texting + Facebook = Textbook Who knew studying could be so easy!?". Yep, by the end of the school year people tend to get a little bored. School leads to boredom, boredom leads to chaos, chaos leads to angry teachers, angry teachers leads to extra homework, extra homework leads to the realization that school is still in session, this realization leads to boredom, boredom leads to chaos... is it summer yet?
