Hi again...
Just a quick little update on my new career move.
It's definitely NOT the pay I was hoping for. And it doesn't seem like the kids really care about having me there - :-) - But it's still pretty cool.
One day - earlier in the week - I had 2 girls who refused to do something I asked them to do...
SIT DOWN in their seats.
It was fairly frustrating for me. I came home pretty bummed that day.
BUT - the next day I asked an administrator how I should handle it, because I know good-and-well it's going to happen again. I can just guarantee it. So he gave me a few ideas - including getting back-up help, sending them to the office, writing them up, and a few other choice options.
Anyhow...
The next couple days have gone MUCH smoother. I've had the absolute pleasure of writing up 4 kids now for detention who - after repeated warnings - refused to do something I was asking.
Man - does that feel good. And I don't feel the slightest bit of guilt, because I am WAY more lenient than their regular teachers.
It's funny... I am definitely NOT a confrontational person. But having these kids just sit there and talk over you, and other blatant nonsense like that, makes me really fired up to unleash all kinds of unpleasant-ness onto them.
Anyhoo...
Most of my classes have been with middle schools, which are going pretty good.
I really enjoyed working at the high school level last week. I even got the chance to hang out in a computer / biz. ed. tech classroom for a few hours - which was totally cool. Just based on my website experience I could really enjoy teaching those types of classes.
Talk soon,
Al
