Couldn't Demand, 2005

Givar, winter, 2005


Principal: Johan Shazad; Primary Teacher: Ilila Peterson; Secondary Teacher: Jesse Kent

Secondary Students: Jack Lacksmith and Ami Wu are in 12th grade; Harriet and Henry Mendenhall are in 10th grade; Rosemarie Green and Erricson Frankson are in 8th grade; Si'Enya Warwick and Rojo Herendez are in 7th grade; 

Primary Students: Elphy Mendenhall is in 6th grade; Myra Shazad, Naraj Shazad, Grace Elise Dawson, Bryant Grey, and Annie Grey are in 5th grade; Abel Wilsonoff Amanda Wilsonoff and Serendipity Herendez are in 4th grade; Rex Mendenhall is in 3rd grade; Veronika Kent and Laci McMillian are in 2nd grade; Ping Sweeny, Aaron Sweeny, and Simora Sweeny are in 1st grade

Johan was extremely pleased. The county council had just approved the plans for the new school and construction would be starting in a few weeks. The new school would have larger classrooms thanks to the increased enrollment. He also was able to get money in to hire an additional primary teacher so that he could focus on being the principal and the increased work needed with Pierce University. Eventually he would have to turn the reigns over to another sim, but that wouldn't be for several simyears. Alas, all the changes would be in time for Fall 2006. Right now he was stuck with the lower primary students. He couldn't understand them or why they didn't want to listen to the physics involved in sims being able to carry such large items in their inventory without feeling the weight of those objects. Instead they were content to color and read nursery rhymes.

Ilila meanwhile was enjoying her first year at the academy. The children had quickly learned that even though Mrs. Peterson was pretty and nice, she was tough.

When she gave assignments, she meant it and expected them to be done in a timely manner otherwise you could kiss recess goodbye. She would still allow you to go outside since it was required that students get a break, but your recess was spent walking laps around the playground. That way you got sunshine and physical exercise...just not playing tag as you had wanted.

Thankfully, dance classes had resumed again. Susie couldn't demand too much from her students as many of them were still struggling to stay balanced on two feet, let alone one foot. She only came to the school twice a week to hold classes. Two days a week, the students enjoyed physical education classes with Benjamin Endeavor, or Dreamy Dimples as some of the secondary girls called him. The students also continued to enjoy music classes with Nicole Humphrey twice a week and now there was an art class once a week with Antonio Herendez.

Jesse's class was doing well. Enrollment had increased which made discussions much more lively. It also meant that he had to keep his eye open for students who perfered to study each other rather than their assignments. Which reminded him, he would have to mention to Johan about taking school enrollment photos. It would be a nice way to watch the children grow up as well as a nice token for students to take home.

  1. Nice update. I love school updates, but I can't wait to see the new and improved school!

    I've been doing the class photo for a while, but I actually stopped once enrollment of students got so large. Maybe I'll start it back up!

  2. Looks like things are under control. I am super excited to see your new dorms, I hope you share pictures. I wrote a comment yesterday about them but I don't think I stayed at the computer through the security code. I do that sometimes, lol.

  3. Ha, Dreamy Dimples! Yeah, I can imagine the secondary girls wouldn't mind a cute young college student coming to teach them PE!

  4. Such a lively school!

    Yes, a young guy followed my school counseling internship, and the middle school girls told me once when I went back, "Some of us think Mr. So and So is cute!" It was really funny.

  5. -Riverdale, the new school is coming along nicely. I actually wouldn't mind going there and there's even room for expansion built in. I can't wait until the students move to the new school and it's not as crowded.

    -Maisie, yea, I sometimes miss the whole security code with comments and then have to go back. The dorms are giving me issues, thankfully they don't have to be ready until Fall 2006.

    -Carla, not at all. Thankfully Benjamin keeps his shirt on now-at first his default clothing was a pair of track pants...that's it

    -Francesca, lol-isn't that always the case with middle schoolers.

  6. Apple Valley, (rolling on the floor laughing, in a theoretical sense)...he showed up in just a pair of track pants to teach PE?? I wouldn't put it past him!

  8. -Francesca, yep. It was my fault-I forgot about his choice of workout wear.

    -SH, all the teachers have personal items at school. Johan has family photos and so does Ilila along with travel items.
