Who’s the lucky kid who gets the roller?
I’ve got that movie on DVD, and saw it in the theater back in the day. I’ll have to dig it out. I think I read that Henson’s company is working on a sequel, or a series, or something.

There’s been a Netflix prequel series in the works since 2017 sometime with a release date sometime this year. I’m excited but also a bit apprehensive although Netflix seems to be able to produce better series than one off movies so there’s hope.

If you’re ever in Atlanta, check out the
Center for Puppetry Arts
. It has a boatload of old Henson stuff, antique Asian
puppets, Sesame Street, and so on. One of the hidden gems in town, away from all the tourist insanity. It’s good for an hour or two while passing through town.

A prequel series has been announced and will be released on Netflix
Cool! I will watch.

My school can’t get subs. The last one quit after a kid took a swing at him. We’ve had 3 guns found here - a middle school - since February.

2 quit last week. One is out for required training. Another is out sick and the other took a personal day. We can’t get subs so kids are dispersed to other rooms.

It’s currently available on Prime.
The kid in the roller is named Nadia and she’s my “executive assistant.”
She staples, collates, and passes out stuff for her class block.

Be O wn S ubstitute = Good Plan
The 8th Grade is on a field trip today and I requested placement in the Rear Detachment. So I have 8 students in my room and we’re watching Nacho Libre . We watched Akeelah and the Bee earlier. Good times.

That’s crap on everyone.
Why can’t you get subs?
So what does that mean on a class by class level?
Is the syllabus affected and taken into account by school inspectors?
Sorry, you may have a completely different school structure to us.

Sounds like she earned the roller.

As it should be.

Subs refuse to come to my school because it’s a violent and chaotic place.

Jesus christ. Three in three months!? IN A SCHOOL!?
8th graders, if our Year 8, is like your 8th Grade, I’m assuming they would be about 12 or 13?
