How is a Luau related to Spanish class? This person is TEACHING our children. Frightening.
Wow. Great. That's just great. And how do you say Nitwit in Hawaii?
It's times like this I remember just how much better suited I am to be safely out of the educational field -- because if I'd stayed, I think I'd dead from trying to hold back the explosive giggles.
I second Amanda's post - what on earth does a luau have in common with a Spanish class? Shouldn't it be a fiesta? Wow.
Adios.
So, you don't have the market cornered on crazeeness at work, do you?
Aloha! Adios. and hora somniferum
I'm glad to see we're diligently training a future generation of neurology patients. Wouldn't want your blog to run dry for lack of trying, now would we? :)

Congratulations, lady, you're a moron in three languages.
"How do you say aloha in Spanish?" Good grief. Yes, we're celebrating Cinco de Mayo in our school, but we want the white kids to "get it" so we're just calling it "May Fifth."
wouldn't 'hola' or 'adios' work since aloha means both?
Haloja.
Well, that's easy. Obviously, it's "Aloja!"
I believe in her case it would be:
"Yo estoy muy estupido"
Anonymous: actually, it would be "Yo soy muy estupida." The verb "estar" is used to indicate locations and temporary conditions, while the verb "ser" is used for permanent states, such as her stupidity. Of course, maybe she was just temporarily out of her right mind because she was high, in which case "estar" would be appropriate, but coming to school high in the first place would suggest long-term stupidity. So we're back to "ser."
Siempre hay un tarado en el grupo........
TRANSLATION: There's always a nitwit in the group.
Aloha means Love, Hello, Goodbye. That's a really good description of that teacher, "nitwit." My condolences to your wife for having to work with such nimrods.
"Que pasta? = How's your noodle?" would probably work too.
