The Chronicles of D'Andre James, Part I

D'Andre James is a freshman and will probably be one for a long-time to come. He is a BD (behavioral disorder) student, a chronic member of the "DNA List" (Do Not Admit List, meaning he's always up for suspension, whether in-school [ISS] or out [OSS]), a class clown to end all class clowns, and by many accounts the worst-behaved student in the school. He is also pretty hilarious.

Here's how you get a funny D'Andre anecdote: talk to him for any length of time. It only takes a few seconds. Here's one from when I walked past him on my planning period one day last year:


D'Andre, sitting outside a classroom (like you do): "You married?"

Mr. Vonn: "Yes."

D'Andre: "How long you been married?"

Mr. Vonn: "Almost five years."

D'Andre: "You ever cheat on her?"

Mr. Vonn: "No."

D'Andre, nodding in approval: "Good man."


D'Andre James as moral crusader. I love it.
