Mr. Babylon Gets Fired From Shitty High

There are other, more uplifting teacher blogs to read, but one of the most candid I've come across is Mr. Babylon, who teaches at what he calls Shitty High in the Bronx (and whom I first heard about from Scott Elliott at the Dayton Daily News).

Mr. B is consistently funny -- or at least irreverent -- and rarely pious or self-serious (assuming those aren't the same things). He's been profiled in the NY Sun, along with other NYC teacher bloggers (Blogging: A Hot New After-School Activity - for Teachers).

And, he got excessed a few days ago.
