I've always enjoyed finding teacher blogs and looking at them for ideas and inspiration; and more often than not, some good laughs about teaching in general. One of the blogs that I really enjoy for it's overall humor about teaching and the situations you encounter is the "Love, Teach" blog. She teaches secondary english and her posts are almost always good for a laugh. She recounts hilarious situations and things her students have said and talks about situations that are too true for teachers.
One of my favorite concepts of hers is "DEVOLSON" which is the Dark, Evil, Vortex of Late September, October, and November. Once I read her post on it, I could relate to everything she said and recognized the problems of DEVOLSON as well. It was nice to read about someone else's struggles with those first couple months of the year and to have a name to put to it.
If you're interested in having some laughs and approaching teaching situations with humor or even need some support and knowing that you aren't the only one going through those times, check her out.
