A TFA teacher had a gun pointed to her head on Friday morning on the front steps of Fitzsimons. The incident was not published in the paper. Today, the same thing happened to one of the school police officers. Was it in the paper? No way. If I were a parent of a Fitzsimons student, I would be absolutely irate now...

Quotes of the Day: Wayne: "Jesse, your kids are gonna graduate before you do."



Jesse: "Mr. Lukens, are you snitchin' on me? Do you know what happens to snitches?"
Me: "Yea, snitches get stiches."
Wayne: "Naaa...you snitch...you gone."

It's been a while since the last update--but not to worry--I am back in full force teaching at Fitzsimons. Actually, I'm not really teaching at Fitzsimons High School, I'm teaching at Leon Sullivan High School. Wait, no...I'm teaching at the Leon Sullivan Life Opportunity Learning Institute at The Young Men's Leadership School at Fitzsimons High School. No, this is not a joke (it's on the cover of the manual I'm looking at now). The program is actually pretty cool, as overage students can make up credits in half the amount of time so they can graduate before they're 21. I'm really excited because now I don't have to put up with the pubescent behavior I had to endure throughout all of last year.

Quote of the Day x 2: Wayne: "Mr. Lukens, why do you slide around in those shoes all of the time?"
Me: "Because the floor is slippery."
Wayne: "Nahh, It's because you ain't got no sole."
Wayne: "Excuse me, let me correct myself...you do not have any sole."
