Teresa, please don't call down the Tard Blog folks; that site's a homecoming to a place I haven't lived in for a couple of decades (but have now bookmarked so I can stop by every now and then). It's just that the blog entries are the redaction: being presented as incidents, stripped of their everyday everyone-back-on-your-hands context, shades them with a callousness that isn't in the classroom. It really is comrade humor, with subtext.
[Relevant background: I have a B.S.Ed from Millersville University, dual-certification Elementary Ed K-6 and Special Ed K-12, SpEd concentration on teaching the emotionally disturbed; and a program focus on educating in inner-city schools. I was a classroom SpEd teacher in residential schools every summer from age 16-20, and my combined majors program meant I was also in a classroom 4-10 hours/week every semester except first freshman (none) and final senior (two 8-week school practicum assignments, no on-campus classes at all). The Tard Blog entries are entirely familiar. That I didn't make my career in classroom teaching was a fall of the job-market dice when I graduated.]
