It’s a Blue Mile Podcast Short! A Very Important Public Service Announcement
Listen up, ladies. It’s for your own good.

Hey, kids. So, it’s been awhile. I’ve missed you. (But not really.) I thought that I’d take a moment to say hello while I had chance. But the key element here is why I have that chance in the first place. Presently, I’m sitting in a meeting. I was told that I must come to this meeting. In fact, this meeting is being held in my classroom. But I’m getting ahead of myself. This morning, out entire faculty had to sit through a meeting about Differentiated Instruction. This is a really fancy way of saying, “Some students are smarter than others and, therefore, you have to teach at a rate that allows all students to learn.” When you go to school to learn to be a teacher, you’re actually never told this directly…because if you can’t realize that without being told, you ought to be shot and your body used for socially taboo sexual practices. The woman who was presenting started her presentation by asking if we wanted to see a picture of her kids.
Clearly, we did not.
She showed us anyway…what a bitch.
It was very shortly thereafter that I stopped paying attention. However, I did hear her ask what type of candy bar we were. What she meant is that there are several personality types and we can associate that with various candy bars. Our choices? Kit-Kats, Toblerone, Tootsie Rolls, or M&Ms. I have no idea what each candy represents because I couldn’t listen to this idiot woman who thought that Tootsie Rolls and M&Ms were candy bars.
Moron.
Then I had to sit through a training meeting for a program which I was told I would never, as a middle school teacher, ever use. The training is still going on as I type this. Using equipment that I don’t have, I can make a keyboard sound like a dog barking.
What a useful tool for an educator to have.
Morons.
In other news, look out for new podcasts featuring Mah-tee-chay, Patty Pauls, and the Dickster coming real soon…assuming Tugas stops being…you know…Tugas.
Peace.

What is the Blue Mile Podcast?
We've often wondered the same thing. We're pretty sure that we're a sketch comedy troupe from Upstate New York and New England. We'd tell you more, but your question has sent us into an existential crisis. Thanks a lot.
