First Quarter
We're officially 1/4th of the way through the school year. Knock on wood- I haven't been sick yet, which is definitely different than the last two years (last year I'd already been sick four days). Three times now in the last week I've been observed by people from the district, state, and America's Choice program. Everyone likes what they're seeing, and the America's Choice lady wants me to become the model teacher for the math program.
I just finished all of my grading and report cards, which took a tenth of the time because of my Excel spreadsheet. I'm frustrated about how many kids are still failing, but I would say that most students are improving. The kids think I am insane, which is fine by me.
Every day is a new challenge or frustration, but I actually have time to deal with them. I'm calling parents, making children miserable during detention, scaring kids. My goal is to make a group cry.
Here's a fun one from today:
_______, please stop cussing in my classroom.
Mistah! What the fuck is cussing?!?!
Cussing is cursing, at least in Texas.
Well why the fuck don't you just say cursing?
After this f'ing time, ___________, I'll f'ing say cursing. How about you stop f'ing stop using the f' word? Take some notes, OK, before Mr. B goes on a rampage? Thanks.
Three more quarters to go.
