First day of student teaching
Well... last night I couldnt even sleep because I was so excited about my student teaching placement, it is at the same elementary school that I just finished my student teaching with Rosie, and I love Rosie like we totally hit it off, and I expected most of the teachers at the school to be this way.
Boy was I WRONG. Today was like hell. Absolute hell. It wasnt even that I got little to no sleep and the whole class speaks spanish and I dont... because I can at least understand them enough to answer them back in English. Nope. The teacher is the wicked witch of the west. I cannot believe it, the whole day Im sitting there thinking no, this cant be right I am not going to be spending the next 12 weeks here. So she got mad at me when I entered the room for interupting, so she mentions how I interupted... um hello how else am I going to be introduced to the classroom, I mean I had the VP with me it wasnt like I just popped in and she had no clue I was coming. Anyways then she says well i guess you can take over for me here then, UM ITS MY FIRST DAY!!! She gave me the book they were reading like somehow through osmosis I would be able to know what they were reading and said they are working on a poem... and Im like uh okay, and she takes the other group of students and Im on my own... I survive it... barely... THEN later she hands me a group of students and says they need to fix this essay. Okay well whats wrong with it? what does she want? are there guidelines? is there a point to this assignment? nope... guess not... so I get to make the assignment up then and there... good luck for me... (its all my subbing experiences to fall back on... dont have shit to do????? make it up and fake it)
are you ready? this is the best part... I go to lunch and shes like do whatever you want so I get my lunch and go into the lunch room to eat with the other people... okay were finished I make a friend thats a great part of the day, then I go to visit Rosie and my kids... they werent there so I went back to the lunch room and walk into a conversation about none other than me. How professional is that? A teacher was responding to something my master teacher said and he was going on and on about how he had to fail this girl becasue she was really shy and she had no handle on the classroom and the kids just took advantage of her etc etc... I just sit there not knowing what to do and having no where else to go... it was horrible... after school I went to Rosies classroom and Melchor gave me a hug. Then I went to my car and cried all the way to State where I had a class to sit through. It was horrible.
