Well as we all know (or at least those of you who know me…or read my blog regularly) I work at an Inner City High School.
The other day I was working on a computer in “Mr. L’s” World History Class. and the subject….none other than the second, war to end all wars….thats WWII for those of you who are ‘history challenged’.
Well Mr. L is one of those teachers I would have LOVED to have had in school…he makes the subject interesting, he has a passion for it and he’s good at it….almost good enough to make me want to do what I always wanted to do…
Be a History Teacher….but yea I’m not really built for ‘teaching history’ though I’d love to do it.
Anyway I digress (me? imagine that!) I was listening to him explaining to a class full of kids that didn’t want to learn (none of them, wanted to learn, and he was TRYING so hard) and all I could think of was…Eddie Izzard and this bit here…
Which while bloody funny…wasn’t exactly what Mr. L was teaching…I had to explain to him later why I kept giggling in his class while I was working.
I may have to loan him “Dressed to Kill” just to let him get the same laugh I was getting.
Anyway thats enough silliness from me today…ya’ll have a great day!
See I have this pet peeve with history. I have difficulties reading about it. But I really love it when people tell me about it.
+++ Then this blog should be right up your alley.
I’m with MissM. Talk to me about history but don’t make me read about it.
I’ve learned more about history from Eddie Izzard than I ever did in school. Yeesh.. I hope Eddie is telling me the right stuff!
Crap! Are you saying that the German Empire wasn’t like a flan in a cupboard? Damn!
+++ Nope not literally…figuratively however….at least it wasn’t the Ottoman Empire…full of Furniture.
