Climbing Out from Under a Rock to Find Snark All Over the Place and Yet Another Warning about Cell Phones Ringing in the Classroom

*


My, but lately it's getting crowded in the snark closet.

That's what happens when I go away for a long time and neglect my duties here. I sincerely apologize to the three people who actually read this blog...

Another Ms. Snark has taken up residence in the blogosphere, but I suppose the internet has room for yet another Ms. Snark. Besides, I have the domain name.

And now the good folks who run the internet decided to create a .me domain extension--actually, it's supposed to be a country code for Montenegro, but they have allowed all kinds of riff raff in, including an upstart who has a new snark site at Snark.me.

Snark.me? Pul-eeze. I'll stick with the .com name.

I'll bet it's one of my former students.

Last year was uneventful, TOO uneventful--I could barely conjure up the strength to work up a sweat about much of anything. It was kumbaya 24/7 in my classroom.

I mostly spent much of the year catching up on the happenings on the RYS compound; the anonymous administrators there have now decided to post ads. Can't say that I blame them. I shall be doing so soon, which may give me the impetus to post more often.

I can scarcely believe some of the tantrums some young people throw these days, but, certainly, my future students will refrain from becoming snowflake fodder.

Oh, by the way, as the school year begins to rev up, here's a cellphone warning from kingernoy:



Enjoy the rest of your summer!
