The Dumbest Person Ever
So here's a list of events that made it abundantly clear that God exists and he's laughing uncontrollably:
- Kevin frequently forgot when/where the class was. On more than one occasion, I had to retrieve him from other classrooms.
- Kevin ate an entire 24 pack of crayons, puked, and then did it again the next day. This is 9th grade. I have no idea where he got crayons.
- Kevin's dad wrote tuition checks and mailed them to me...his English teacher. This was a public school. When I gave it back to Kevin, voided, to give to his dad with a brief note explaining that this is a public school, Kevin got in trouble for trying to spend it at 711 after school.
- Kevin was removed from the culinary arts program after leaving a cutting board on the gas stove and starting a fire....twice
- Kevin threw his lunch at the School Resource Officer and tried to run away. He ran into a door and insisted it wasn't him.
- Kevin stole my phone during class. I called it. It rang. He denied that it was ringing. (Not that it wasn't his, not that he did it.....no, he denied that the phone was actually ringing). He tried it three times before the end of the year.
- Kevin called the basketball coach a "Motherfucking Bitch" during the gym. Basketball tryouts were that afternoon. Kevin tried out. It didn't go well.
- Kevin's mom could never remember which school he went to. She missed several meetings because she drove to other schools (none of which he ever went to)
- Kevin tazed himself in the neck before a football game
- Kevin kept a bottle of orange koolaide in his backpack for about 4 months. He thought it would turn into alcohol. He drank it during homeroom and threw up.
- Kevin say the N-word a lot. Kevin was white. The high school was 84% black. Kevin got beat up a lot.
- Kevin stole another student's iPhone....and tried to sell it back to them.
- Kevin didn't understand that his grade was dependent on tests, quizzes, homework, classwork, and participation. Kevin finished his first semester with a 3% average. He tried to bribe me with $11.
- Kevin spit on a girl and said: "You should get out of those wet clothes". The girl was the Spanish Student Teacher.
- Kevin didn't know dogs and cats were different animals.
- Kevin tried to download porn onto a computer in the library.....at the circulation desk....while he was logged on.
- Kevin asked a girl to prom (he was in 9th grade and freshmen don't go to prom) by asking for her phone number and then texting her his address
- Kevin got gum in his hair, constantly.
- Kevin regularly tried to cheat on assignments by knocking the pile over, grabbing one before I had picked them all up, and then writing its name on it wherever there was room.
- Kevin had several allergies, but neither his parents nor he could remember what they were. They were very concerned that "the holiday party" (it's high school, we don't have those) would have peanuts. When they finally got a doctor's note....he was allergic to amoxicillin
- Kevin and his parents took a trip to Nassau (how the fuck did they even get airline tickets?) and forgot all their luggage at home. I didn't believe him when he told me until I talked to his mom, who told me 1st thing when I saw her at the bi-weekly meeting.
- Kevin's grandfather apparently died in a chainsaw accident. I can only assume God was looking the other way that day.
