Have you ever wondered what teachers discuss in the breakroom when they’re not reading through stacks of student essays and tests? Besides the usual topics of grades or lessons, Mitch and Christina often digress into conversations about movies, music and tv. We’re two English teachers who harbor secret hopes of one day becoming famous entertainment world critics. We know we’re a little obsessed, but we’ve accepted it, even embraced it. We’ve created this blog to invite you to join our conversation.

Welcome to The Breakroom.

American Idol Contest

It's time for the second edition of the American Idol contest! It's free to join. The grand prize is bragging rights for a year.

Rules: Put the contestants in order of how you think they'll finish this year. Email picks to mitchpollock@aol.com, send me a message on facebook, or drop the sheet off in my school mailbox. I'll email Christina my list tomorrow to ensure I did not glance through everyone else's first!

Scoring:

25 points= picking the winner
15 points= picking the top male singer
15 points= picking the top female singer
15 points= predicting the exact finish of a contestant.
10 points= coming within one spot of predciting a contestant's finish (for example, if you think Crystal will finish in 8th place and she comes in 7th or 9th, you'll get 10 points)
5 points= coming within two spots of predicting a contestant's finish.

Good luck! I might be tempted to include Alex Lambert and Katelyn Epperly on my top 12 in case the producers were just playing a joke on us the last episode.

List of contestants:
Aaron Kelly
Andrew Garcia
Casey James
Crystal Bowersox
Didi Benami
Katie Stevens
Lacey Brown
Lee Dewyze
Michael Lynche
Paige Miles
Siobhan Magnus
Tim Urban
