I'm not sure about this substitute teaching thing. not anymore, anyway. today i subbed in a spanish class at clarksville high. the teacher was a classmate of mine in my assessment class. and when i got there i found out that another person from my assessment class was subbing for him. no one knows for sure what is going on. if he's sick or quitting or what. but anyways, it was awful. those kids were the worst kids i have ever seen. they don't listen or shut the fuck up. it's amazing. i guess they have not motivation for listening to me, but it seems as if maybe they could just respect me because i'm a human being. how about that. a novel idea really.
it makes me sad really. sick, even. these kids have the whole world in front of them. they could learn anything if they wanted to. but no. i tried to teach them to conjugate verbs today. that's all. present tense regular AR verbs. not a big deal for fuck's sake. the only highlight? after fourth period a girl told me thanks because it was starting to make some sense to her. good. at least one person appreciated my efforts.
it annoys me that i really tried to help them. i had something to offer those kids. and choose to be stupid.
