I'm a professional, John Lee. I am self assured, a master teacher, have my lessons taped for use by our curriculum center to train new teachers, mentor student and new teachers, and coach teachers from other districts. I gently pushed back when someone attempted to throw me under the bus at a meeting I was at with my P in attendance. (and obviously by pushing back, I don't mean physically..) To be a good leader, you must stand up for yourself as much as you stand up for others.

I still don't know what's going on... But then again I am frequently clueless.
What in the world is this thread all about? Peregrin, I'm with you. But I guess that's for the better. I hate drama.
I really thought we were talking about real apples at first. I'm like, hmmm, really? I'll have to pay more attention to them. I usually buy them separately...
Hmmm, well, I wonder what prompted the OP to start such a thread, about apples. Now I want a yummy apple with almond butter on it.
Apples generally make my mouth itch. I think I have an allergic reaction to the small amounts of cyanide in them or something. I will eat one if there is nothing else though. My favorite ones are the granny smiths. =] I still love it when a student leaves an apple on my desk.
I was subbing in a grade 11 English class earlier this year (the only time I've ever subbed at the high school level) and I had a student give me an apple, with a face drawn on it in sharpie... I was actually quite impressed.
I once had to give an impromptu speech in an English class and the topic was "apple polishing". So that's what I talked about...different methods of polishing apples to make them shiny. The class thought it was quite amusing and thought I was really trying to be tongue-in-cheek.
It wasn't until later that I found out the real meaning of apple polishing.

I was annoyed at something and that is just the phrase I thought of to describe it.
