@Peggy: I’m horrible too; I still haven’t finished Count of Monte Cristo myself. Oops! I should get back on that although I’m scared I’ve forgotten all the characters by now. What age do you teach in Primary?

I’ve gotten most of my disciplinary problems solved. I used to have problems with the boys misbehaving but honestly I now have more problems with the girls crying and throwing fits. Once they get going it’s really hard to stop them. It drives me nuts. I also get annoyed that several parents let their kids bring toys to Primary. Seriously, what the crap? I understand Sacrament Meeting but not Primary! It becomes an issue every time and I almost always have to take it away til the end of Primary. Urrg.

Yeah, I’m not sure about this book club thing. I just foresee so many issues, and I think it’s like some kind of educational enrichment or something that is officially through the Relief Society presidency so I just don’t know if it’s the kind of thing I want to try to lead just cuz the whole people getting offended thing.

I had one girl in my four-year old class who was a terror. I made her stand outside the door by herself. They were a little unhappy with me. I said She had to follow the rules and I wouldn’t let her ruin the class for the other kids. She began improving and is not a model child.

Book clubs. They’re great if you have the right mix of people. I was going to start one in our congregation and someone said we need to get the Bishop’s approval. I said this is adults getting together to study books. This is neither church-sanctioned nor unchurch sanctioned. I dropped it. I’ve been involved in really good ones, though; and if you get a good one, they are well worth the time.

I was so frustrated with primary yesterday. We have one kid in my class who is a handful and just needs some extra attention. During closing exercises this kid didn’t want to sit in his seat and was up running around bugging the primary presidency. His father is a teacher in one of the other classes. I had already run up twice to the podium to grab him. When he did it again I would assume his father would go and grab him, but nope he didn’t do anything at all. I’m okay with trying to teach the kids some kind of
My ward has two book clubs. One is basically books by lds authors or church authorities and the other is more non-secular reading. But the other book club is more 5th/6th grade reading material like you say. They read Twilight or The Goose Girl. Stuff like that. Good luck if you decide to do it. Keep us up to date on your book choices. By the way I never finished Count of Monte Cristo. I’m terrible. It’s on my list of to reads.

news –> Newsies –> Christian Bale was in the The Newsies but is obviously not in this post nor is the movie the subject of the post. It was just about personal news, hence minus Christian Bale. Sorry if you came here looking for something actually about Christian Bale.

And what about “Christian Bale” in the headline?
What was the reason to put his name there?
