DISCLAIMER: The following posts are meant to inform students and parents of any and all in-class assignments, homework, and evaluations. Having said that, in order to make my students' education more enjoyable, I often employ the use of jokes, tomfoolery, sarcasm, one-liners, pranks, puns, stunts, buffoonery, and wisecracks, not to mention drollery, jests, larks, mischief, shenanigans, and witticisms which, if taken out of context or if misunderstood, could result in a person being offended. This, of course, is not my intent. I'm just a teacher trying to make class fun! For further information or if you'd like to meet with me to discuss my teaching strategies, feel free to contact me at 705-647-7376.
