Dangit.  At my school every morning, we say the Pledge of Allegiance.  I have Juniors and Seniors in my first period class.  Every day, I have 3 or 4 that start to sit down before the pledge is over.  Well they caught me in the wrong mood today.  I snapped.  They are now in the computer lab writing a 5 page paper on the Pledge of Allegiance.  I am sorry but is it asking too much to stand for the entire 10 seconds it takes to say it? 

For about a year now my wife has wanted a bike.  I figured it was a passing fad.  A year later, she still wants one.  The kids are getting to the age they want to ride theirs and we have nowhere around the house to ride.  We do have a nice bike trail nearby.  Now I will be 40 next month and I haven't been on a bike in about 15 years.  In college I rode mountain bikes daily.  I got really into it.  I didn't have a car at school so it was my main mode of transportation.  Fast forward all these years and I am finally ready to take the plunge again.  The only problem is that I have put on a lot of

I was sitting in the bathroom yesterday doing my business and I came to the realization that I am weird.  We have all seen the Seinfield episode where George goes to the bathroom and takes his shirt off.  I am a little different.  I not only take my shirt off, I like to get rid of the pants also.  Now granted, I don't do this everywhere.  I only do this at home or at work.  I have been doing this for years.  Not sure why, it's just more comfortable to me.  At work, the teachers have access to 3 small bathrooms that only teachers can use.  They are all one seaters that lock.  I like to get in t

A quick introduction.  My name is H2Daddy.  No the H2 does not stand for Halo 2.  My two sons names start with an H.  I know, kinda gay but it was the best I could do at the time.  Anyways, I am a 39 year old (will be 40 in 2 weeks) father of 2 little boys.  I am also a high schoo teacher.  I teach Marketing in a small high school in upper east Tennessee.  I wanted to start my blogging career with a set of rules I hand out to my students every semester.  I honestly feel that education is being dumbed down.  No Child Left Behind, don't get me started.  So anyways, here is my rules.
