Ever seen the movie?? I swear that's the situation I subbed in today...however my thugs were 7th graders. Ira's comment as he bolted into the room was....It's my goal to make you cry today....MY RESPONSE....I promise you, you won't achieve it.
GEEZ...I needed a stiff drink or drugs by the time I left, but the other teachers seemed pleasantly surprised that I had not broke down by the end of the day. Great. Thanks for the encouragement!
Anyway...I'm going home to the New Hope tomorrow. Praise Jesus! I'm ready to see my mama!!!
That's about it! I have to go into deep seclusion for an hour or two.

I'm sorry you had a thug day! But look at it this way: now you have a better idea of what Wade's life is like. Good for you for not crying!
I hope you have a good Easter weekend in New Hope!
Way to be tough! I would have cried by the end of first period. Enjoy Easter with your Mom. BTW, how did the book turn out?
Criddy...your response to that little thug should have been "you better watch how you're talking, and where you're walking or you and your homies might be lined in chalk".
That's a line from gangsta's paradise. You should have gotten used to Coolio back at JC...I dated him for a while, you know.
GANGSTA'S PARADISE
by COOLIO featuring L.V.
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left
coz I've been blastin and laughin so long, that even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
but I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of you better watch how you're talking, and where you're walking or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip but i gotta, loc As I Grow I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
on my knees in the night, saying prayers in the streetlight
been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
They got the situation, they got me facin' I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes
so I gotta be down with the hood team too much television watching got me chasing dreams I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger and my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away, I'm living life, do or die,
what can I say I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24
the way things are going I don't know
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
That the one's we hurt, are you and me
been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
Power and the money, money and the power minute after minute, hour after hour everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
what's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's kickin'
they say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
if they can't undersstand it, how can they reach me
I guess they can't, I guess they won't
I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool
