i'm not sure what i would have done in the same situation. this lady's got balls.
however, i am confused with the explaination of this condition, which makes bones "soft and brittle" and/or "soft and easily breakable." can it really be both soft and brittle?

anyway, i had something more pressing to discuss.
my teacher keeps saying, "AH-mee-us" for the word, "ominous," when, in fact, the word is pronounced, "AH-min-us." it really bothers me, especially because he has said it almost every day this week since it's on the vocab list.
also, it bothers me that he couldn't think of a definition for "reminisced" since it wasn't in the classroom dictionaries (we're in third grade, people). ALSO, it irks me that his definitions don't always match the word in parts of speech or verb forms or times or in context in the book (such as defining oblivious as "forgetful," which i did not know was a definition, and i prefer "unaware"), The Mouse and the Motorcycle.

i want to be a teacher.
