On How Teaching Third Grade is like "The Hills"



For all you Hills haters out there, occasionally while watching my favorite guilty pleasure, I have a breakthrough. I was thinking about similarities between my students and the characters on the The Hills. Well, I have two friends who are just like Heidi and Lauren! They used to be friends, but now they are arch enemies. And (Lets call her Sally) Sally is someone who I can not stand and is always causing drama. "She took my binder and won't give it back" IS just like when Heidi and Spencer spread that sex tape rumor!


Now my friends Melinda and Sporty Spice (Have you caught on that I am using fake names?)were instant friends, just like Lauren and Whitney. They have similar interests (Behaving, being dilligent with classwork) just like Lauren and Whitney did (fashion, being from California). Melinda has a boy who sits behind her who she cavorts around the playground with 24/7. I can't tell, are they friends, or something more? Doesn't that remind you of Lauren and Brody?? Okay and last but not least there is my class Spencer. This kid is always trying to get OUT of trouble when he just needs to stop getting INTO it! No, please don't convince me that you didn't push him or didn't tell her she "Smelled like trash". To avoid trouble in the future, just stop! Yeah, Spencer and the playboy bunnies season 2 anyone?
So just when you thought "The Hills" was vapid and annoying I stand to argue- it is educational!

And just for fun I found this really awful picture of Heidi and Spencer to spice up the night!

Love, Kaley

Hi Kaley. Even though I will claim that I hate the Hills, I secretly enjoyed watching it in Cynthia Place...but don't tell anyone.

See you this weekend!
