So for those of you who don't know, the reason this blog is anonymous is that I, Wife, am a teacher in search of a job. I am afraid that I will be blacklisted if Generic Suburb ISD finds out that I am a Democrat. Also, I'd prefer it if this picture is the top search result when my students google me. Number two is the biography of some Puritan lady.As a teacher, I was a bit horrified to see this article on CNN.com.
"But an increasing number of Austin's eighth-graders also submit classwork containing 'b4,' 'ur,' '2' and "wata" -- words that may confuse adults but are part of the teens' everyday lives."I also feel really lame. What does "wata" mean? It sounds kind of like "water." Or possibly "waiter." Why are the teens IMing each other about water? Or waiters? I am so out of touch.

I think it's supposed to be "what a" as in "wata a jerk."
If you're worried about your image as a teacher, Wife, then you *might* want to take down all of those pictures of you on the porn sites. You DO know about those, right?
