Little Rascals

I had another day at the middle school today. I've noticed that the middle schoolers are really big on hurricane Katrina jokes. The teachers made worksheets with questions about me on them and in two separate classes when I asked "Where am I from?" some joker yelled out "HURRICANE KATRINA! NEW ORLEANS! LOLOLOL!" Um, too soon guys.

The other big joke of the day was kids "cleverly" using the 'I like ______' structure to ask if I like the teacher or some random girl in the class. LOL guys!

Anyhow, the kids had to write letters to me today (in English) and I thought that I'd share some of the results with you. You know, because we're such good friends and everything.


A pretty large percentage of the kids drew anime-style drawings on their papers. This one is notable as it's a drawing of the English teacher that I taught that class with.


Why is this one so gratuitously and unnecessarily decorated with stickers and various colors? Because it was made by a Japanese schoolgirl.


I'm sorry Noriko but I don't think I can do that.

Perhaps you've noticed that my good friend Leo has been sporadically posting funny things his students write on his blog. Well, I'm hoping that this drastic move I'm about to make results in a veritable arms race of funnies between the two of us. Leo, I hereby challenge you to beat this (sorry it's hard to read, I should have probably scanned these):
