The other day I mentioned this bizarre propensity of English teachers to do outlandish and insane things to make the news to a colleague (and English teacher)… every time you hear about a teacher going psycho, it seems to be an English teacher. He paused, clearly thinking about it for a moment. Then he looked up and said, “By God, you’re right!”

Here are a couple more:

This Kansas English professor killed his wife.

This Massachusetts high school teacher had sex with a 16-year-old male student.

In other news on a personal level, I have graded all my finals and figured final semester averages for all my classes. I just need to finish writing my personal narratives about each student and I’ll be ready to turn in my grades. Woot!
