Teaching
So today was my first day of teaching in high school... I am not quite sure how I feel yet. It wasn't bad, but of course it wasn't good. I know it will happen again but it really bothers me that half of my students in the one class hate French and don't want to learn it. I want them to learn not just because they are being graded and I wish that they liked my reasons for why the should learn French other than, your in this class and I am grading you so it is your decision. I just hope that as I start teaching more they will find class fun and rethink hating my class. I'm a new teacher, so I am still taking it personally if they don't like my class.
Kinda funny and kinda sad, we had the school pep assembly and as a teacher I am suppose to sit in the crowd to help keep order. Except that I look exactly like them, I blend right in and I'm sure the conversations I overheard were not something the students want teachers or parents knowing. Things about who they could and couldn't sleep with and until when so as not to get charged with statutory rape. Anyways, I am still convinced that any day now I will be asked by some sub where my hall pass is. (I don't worry about the teachers, luckily they all know me, the pros of working in a small school).
That's pretty much it... and now I have to go write more lesson plans because I am somehow already behind and I need to be caught up if not ahead a couple of days. Teachers definitely don't get paid enough.
