You know I really can't say too much went wrong on the field trip today. We went over the paintings and some of the terms before we left, so they were prepared and did a good job of answering questions.
HOWEVER...
One of the questions was about texture. The guide asked "What is texture?"
One of my students said:
"That stuff you put in your hair to make it curly."
I was so embarassed. She said that in front of the white folk. You know Black folk are prone to being embarassed for the whole group of us when one of us has done something stupid. At this point I was embarassed for the group. So you know now the man is thinking what a great thing he is doing for our society helping the poor negro children learn that texture is not created by AfroSheen and UltraSheen Cosmetics.. I am sitting in the back of the gallery blushing next to the thousands year old pottery.
Then, since we had to have lunch stupid early today (10:00am...who does this), I asked the parents to send the kids with a snack. So one little girl comes with:
1. a can of vienna sausage
2. a FAMILY size bag of cheetos (the hot and spicy kind)
3. some hot sauce ( I swear!)
4. some crackers
What's wrong with this you ask? NO DRINK! How the hell are you gonna send your child to school with such a gastrointestinal mess as this and you send nothing to DRINK? So now she is sitting here thristy, mad and with the hot lips because with all that they did not send her with a Capri Sun or at least a quarterwater (I'll explain quarter water to you bougie folk at a later date).
Teaching....that's what I do! LOL
