Per my last two-part blog posts, you are now VERY familiar with my experience of having the Devil as a substitute teacher for my 1st grade class.
If you haven’t read them yet, here are the links… Part 1… Part 2… hurry up and read… we’ll wait…

Done? Okay good, cause now this email I just got from my dad is going to BLOW. YOUR. MIND!!!!
Mona,
I don’t think I ever heard the entire story before and wasn’t aware what a non-stop nightmare first grade was for you. It is a testament to your strength that you came away from it as the special person you are.
So now of course, being a man of action, I am thinking of revenge. Nothing violent, in fact psychological warfare seems appropriate. Like sending the Devil a copy of the blog anonymously with all the names changed. I don’t know.
The only thing that bothers me now is that the Devil is still tormenting children at the school. Anyway, here’s to you and your great attitude on life.
Love,Dad
Ya… you read that correctly… THE DEVIL IS STILL A TEACHER!!!!!!
I feel so deeply for your teacher nightmare. I can only say I had a professor in college who would grade my projects while I presented them and I would always fail. He thought he was so brilliant that he would chastise me in front of other professors. Saying things like “You’ve made improvements, but not acceptable ones.” The head of the department witnessed this and actually saved my from failing the course by regrading my work.
Dude, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
