Males are confusing and should not be trifled with.
Let me entertain you
“Hey Miss, why aren’t you more like Mr XX. He stands up the front and entertains us with stories every lesson. All you do is make us do work. And you make us do the work ourselves.”
Sheesh
Insecurities
Every watch fight go on between two Twitterers and think “oh that’s a bit harsh”?
Ever come back to thinking about it a couple of days later and reconsider your point of view?

1) “i pay taxes so the governement should fund my childs education. ” Well. No. You made that choice. you chose not to send your...
“Hey Miss. Thanks for today. That was a good class. I enjoyed it.”
