Blast from the past
I am still without a job, so far. It's rough, but I keep looking.
In funnier, more positive news, I recently participated in an amusing conversation on Facebook. As a rule, I don't allow current students to be my friend on Facebook, but once I left that job, I accepted former students as friends (some of them. There are some I just don't feel comfortable allowing in like that). And I never added them, I waited them for add me. Sometimes I regret adding them, because it's like I never asked them to spell correctly. Sigh. Anyway, with that disclaimer in place, here's how it went (All names have been changed):
Marsha: Honestly I will never use Macbeth in my life. Why do I have to learn about it.
(Then there are a few students complaining about British Lit, the class I used to teach, when the next student jumps in.)
John: because it teaches u abt other cultures and how to learn from ur own mistakes.. read between the lines dumba** :) haha. kids now days just have no respect for old world literature, shamefull
Me: Marsha and Chris, you're breaking my heart. Breaking my heart! John? You are officially my favorite.
Marsha: Haha well maybe if you were teaching it it would be a bit more enjoyable Ms. May :)
John: ms. may i must say u where by far the cooliest lit. teacher i ever had :). all those new kids dont know what they missed out on.. i mean who else could find a way to make coolio's gangster paradice into a cool project? nobody thats who :P lol
Me: Awww. I feel the warm fuzzies
Monika: Guys! Macbeth is awesome!
'I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none.'
I love that quote!!
Shakespeare was such a genius!
Shelly (who is now majoring in education in college): So I've been seeing all these people complaining about Brit Lit and I have to agree that it would have been much, much better if you guys would have had the RIGHT teacher...
Just sayin' :]
...I did. And look at what I'm going to college for....
Thanks Ms. May :]
Sniff! It brings a tear to my eye. Now I just have one question: How can I bring this up in an interview?
