Originally posted by chaz:I've known plenty of girls named Latrina. :roll: After teaching for many years in the Inner Shitty, I've seen many a weird name! I think the saddest was one of the multiple spellings of Donta. (There must be at least 10 of them.) This poor kid was in Special Ed and I think he was the smart one in the family after meeting his mother and finding out the origin of his name. Ms Dingbat wrote it out for the birth certificate and spelled it something like Dotynae. His teacher had to correct me because I would always say it as it looks. Then I had the pleasure one day of meeting this woman. No wonder this poor boy had problems. One of my favorite classes ever! I miss those boys. If we had more classes like those, we would be so much better off.
Oh yeah….and once on some daytime talkshow (Sally Jessie or Springer or the like)they had a guest and the woman's name was Latrina!
Oh, and then there was the totally messed up kid who always had loads and loads of snot running down his face. Another Special Ed case. Think it may have been an inbreeding kind of thing. This class was tough with really whacked out kids and this one was difficult to settle down to work of any kind, let alone use any art supplies without complete messes, dangerous results or just a total waste of extremely minimal supplies. One day I kept hearing all period, after various kinds of trouble, "Bill Clinton did it! Oh! Look what Bill Clinton did!" (Better yet, it was at the height of the Clinton impeachment hearings.) I thought this was a little too astute for these kids and then found out that this kid Bill's last name was Clinton. (Believe it or not, sometimes it's hard as shit to get some kids names in schools when you are the 'Resource' or 'SPAR Teacher'. Yet more insanity in the school system.-But that's another story.) Anyway, I thought that this was funny as anything and felt so sorry for this kid having that namesake.
