School Sucks
Daniel--
Back from another day of hell. Yes, I do truely believe that teaching middle school P.E. is hell. The reason? The students don't care. I mean, at least when I'm teaching English there are a few kids who are actually interested. But P.E.? No one gives a rat's ass about it.
I had to write one kid up today. It was just stupid. He wouldn't do the fitness test. He just flat out refused. So I told him that he had a choice, a) do the fitness test or b) I write him up. He decided on "b". But the really frustrating part was that it made me look like the bad guy to the other kids. It was like this kid was testing me to see how far I'd go and I went all the way and now the other kids are like, "ooh...Mr. Pemdose is a bastard! ooohh, better not piss him off" with a slightly sarcastic tone.
In other news, Ka's on this big kick about putting up a picture of Adam somewhere in the basement. I'm still not too for it. He needs to move on and forget about Adam and putting pictures up around the house won't do that. I'll just try and ignore his hints until it subsides, which I'm sure it will.
Well, I think I'm going to take a nice hot bath.
