Have you discovered a subject that middle school boys can't destroy? 

 

Edited to add:  ah. I'm not the first one to make this clever observation.

Thankfully, Industrial tech.

 

Or maybe I’m just awesome!

Even as someone who grew up to be a full-time artist, I was guilty of engaging in this behavior. There's nothing quite like the way that middle school boys can specifically make music instructors sob.

In 2016, there were a number of Republican candidates in the race. Republican voters chose to go with the extreme fraudulent Baboon. 
 

This list must have changed since then.  

This list of my personal Republican Utopia has only slightly changed.  Getting rid of party affiliation on voting cards and allowing three person marriage or having Gov get out of marriage are the slight changes.

So brain dead.

Middle school boys have a gift!

And the only GOP candidate remotely close to Trump in 2016 was Ted Cruz, possibly the only Republican more dislikable.

They like PE!

 

And lunch!

 

But man, I have seen it first hand, how much they hate (and ruin) art and music.  One school I was at, I think we went through 5 maybe 6 music teachers in like 8 years.

 

 

Sure they like PE. That doesn't mean they can't and won't ruin it.

 

In 8th grade our PE student teacher was Bill Terrio. Bill Terrio! The starting lineman for the National Champion Nebraska Cornhuskers! He was our hero and he was going to be our every day PE teacher. And we still made his life hell every day. Without even trying. We were a pack of wild squirrels. 

 

I liked 8th grade band, too. That didn't stop us from tearing the foam out of the seats and shooting foam spitballs through our trumpet mouthpieces. Or putting a ham sandwich in the tuba, where it remained all year.

Is that a fancy name for shop class?

 

We also tormented shop teachers. They didn't let middle school kids use the most dangerous power tools, but one kid spent a semester on the belt sander, turning a 2 x 4 into a roach clip.

I may never have seen a more apt description of 8th grade gym class boys.

Most music teachers want to be at the HS or Elementary level.  

 

I was terrible at middle school art, but it was required. Our teacher had subtle hot vibes, so we a bit dug it, but she had wicked long sharp a$$ nails and if you pissed her off she would pinch both side of your neck from behind. I had a swollen lymph node in my neck from those nails into my 30s.

The one moment where it all came together perfectly was when the pack of wild squirrels got to play dodgeball.

Hahaha!  That is so gross and so awesome!

Oh man, middle school art teachers tend to be hot in their own way!

Correct.  It’s actually not even industrial tech anymore.  We got real uptown and go by Skilled and Technical Sciences!

For us it was when we played sandlot football in the gym on rainy days sitting on those 1'x1' scooter things. It was mayhem. You were as likely to score a touchdown as you were to crush a finger.

I believe that the downfall of society can directly be traced to when dodgeball in PE was banned.

Scooter days turned into bumper car days so fast in my PE class. Pretty sure we had more concussions from headfirst collisions there than we ever did in football.
