Alright, so as many of you all know I am studying to be a teacher, and hope to have my B Ed eventually. In Louises Ed classes one thing we were taught to do was to deal with classroom distractions and try to work around them, or perhaps even incorporate them into our lesson. This is one distraction that I would never have seen coming and would have no clue how to deal with:
"A pupil at a Nottingham school had his drama class interrupted when he was sent a strippogram for his birthday.
It is believed the parents of the pupil at Arnold Hill School booked a singing telegram as a 16th birthday surprise, but got the strippogram by mistake.
The stripper, who was dressed as a policewoman, performed her act in front of the Year 11 class.
Education chiefs are investigating the "highly inappropriate incident" which took place on Tuesday.
A spokeswoman for Nottinghamshire County Council said no-one had been suspended and the police had not been called.
She said: "We and the school are investigating the situation.""

A great quote
I have been reading Frankenstien, which, by the way is entirely different than the movie, and came across this quote, I thought it was amazing, especially given my current situation of doing six classes and working 20-30 hours per week. I must have read it three or four times to take it in and underlined it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
“A human being in perfection ought always to preserve a calm and peaceful mind and never allow passion or a transitory desire to disturb his tranquility. I do not think that the pursuit of knowledge is an exception to this rule, if the study to which you apply yourself has a tendency to weaken your affections and destroy your taste for those simple pleasures in which no alloy can posssibly mix, then that study is certainly unlawful, that is to say, not befitting the human mind if this rule were always observed; if no man allowed any pursuit whatsoever to interfere with the tranquility of his domestic affections, Greece had not been enslaved; Caesar would have spared his country; America would have been discovered more gradually; and the empires of Mexico and Peru had not been destroyed."
~ Dr. Frankenstein
