Or buy a machine gun. Frankly speaking, a machine gun is easier on the nerves. I taught high school for 21 years and have taught in the military for a bit over 4 years. I know what I am talking about.

That's funny. Man, it's so obvious when these kids are on a sugar high.
Time I gotta stop'em and make them do laps outside before I allow them back into my class. I don't usually get angry...just shake my head and think, "Yep, I was like that too..."

I just think there's something about puberty that turns boys stupid. We can't help, our brains just fritz out and let us do/say dumb things.

One day one of the 5th grade boys at my elementary school was running up and down the hallways singing the "Numa Numa" song.

Perhaps, it was a remake of another song from a few years ago.
Yeah, "too much sugar" is a good way to sugarcoat the way the high school students really feel.

School kids singing bin Laden's praises
School authorities in the province said they are working to discourage children from singing what they called a "Bin Laden worship song." ... The South Gyeongsang Office of Education reported Tuesday that 1,750 students had been punished at 15 schools for singing the song.... "The song, reportedly sung to the tune of the theme song of a popular cartoon, goes something like this: "Osama bin Laden, the person I admire most. I also want to be a terrorist when I grow up. President Bush, the person I detest most. I'm going to blow up the 63 building."
