Speaking of to much info overload...................I substitute and from 7th grade up these kids flabbergast me!! A couple of days ago I had 14/15 yr olds. There was one boy who kept talking about the big nasty and making all sort of little inuindos (sp) and there were a couple of girls who were writting notes to each other in a notebook. I peered over a shoulder to see what they were writting. They were writting the F word a lot. There always seems to be a boy who is bold enough to say things out loud. I know that if we had been caught saying those things when I was in school I would have suspended and then got my butt busted when I got home. Nothing is sacred to the kids now days. It really is sad because it shows they don't even respect themselves. I am so sorry about that. Like someone said, there is no innosence any more. (please excuse misspelled words. I never could spell)
