Drunk Teacher Who Allegedly Flapped Arms And Made Chicken Noises Removed From Classroom

The Smoking Gun:

April 1, 2011

A Massachusetts middle school teacher was removed from her classroom last week when students reported that she appeared drunk, asking one pupil “how would it feel to have a bullet in his head” and “flapping her arms, and making chicken noises, and or trying to fly.”

Sounds like a serious contender for member of Congress.

She could take Teddy Kennedy's place...

But can chickens swim?

OH Damn!! not as far as I know....

Maybe she was doing saveliberty's chicken dance.

I had a teacher that was like that in 6th grade....without alcohol or drugs. We seldom covered the curriculum; instead hearing vivid tales of her childhood, youth & young adulthood.....before she had her stay in "Norman, Oklahoma"......in a place where vivid imaginations are tempered with therapy & thorazine.

 

My most memorable afternoon was the the class where she breathlessly related the tale of her wedding day. She was waiting in the church, all in lace & having had her perfumed bath. Hubby was completing the last of his plowing of their fields [using a team of four horses,] when the reins snapped, wrapped around his neck, the horses spooked......and they found him headless in a grove of downed trees......and they never did find his head! I thought a lot about that over the next few hours.......days.....years.

 

Like........was it a closed casket funeral?

 

Why would you just get a little "plowing" in before you got married?

 

Where's his head?

 

I have never........ever.....heard someone recite poetry like she could though......especially Edgar Allen Poe....who was a favorite anyway.......but she could put depth & drama into that stuff

 

This one in particular:

 

Bells

 

by Edgar Allen Poe

 

Hear the sledges with the bells -

Silver bells!

What a world of merriment their melody foretells!

How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,

In the icy air of night!

While the stars that oversprinkle

All the heavens seem to twinkle

With a crystalline delight;

Keeping time, time, time,

In a sort of Runic rhyme,

To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells

From the bells, bells, bells, bells,

Bells, bells, bells -

From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

 

II

 

Hear the mellow wedding bells -

Golden bells!

What a world of happiness their harmony foretells!

Through the balmy air of night

How they ring out their delight!

From the molten-golden notes,

And all in tune,

What a liquid ditty floats

To the turtle-dove that listens, while she gloats

On the moon!

Oh, from out the sounding cells

What a gush of euphony voluminously wells!

How it swells!

How it dwells

On the Future! -how it tells

Of the rapture that impels

To the swinging and the ringing

Of the bells, bells, bells,

Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,

Bells, bells, bells -

To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells!

 

 

Spooky Teachers! She wasn't even in the union, either.

NCJim! Nicky!

 

I remember an old SNL skit from the early 90's, right about the time of the William Kennedy Smith rape trial, about MTV covering Spring Break at the Kennedy Compound in FL, which had a bunch of drunken college kids hooting and hollering while the U-Boat Commander himself slurred through a "Let's Party!!!" speech to the interviewer.

 

Yeah, I can see the old lush doing the funky chicken on the Senate floor.

SrWoodchuck -- I don't know how a person could tell a story like that and make it funny, but you did!

Glad you're back & thank you. At the time, nobody laughed.....it gets a little funnier with age, though.
