This is more admin related. It was my first day on the job at a new school and I was getting shown around by one of my bosses. Somehow politics came up and I made a few untoward comments about our gov't. She quickly grew cold and then I noticed a picture on her desk. Her hubby was our premier.
Morale of the story: never mention politics until you know someone well, especially if it is your boss. |

| My mistake was to use the same lingo as the students. There was one particular catch phrase popular at the time and I used it with another teacher. Apparently, it was like the English way of saying the F word. I apologized over and over again, but I don't think he ever really forgave me. |
