Fridays are usually real laid-back at work for me. I have a bilingual computer class at the college in the morning, and I only had one student show up today, so that made my morning simple. My student hardly asked for help... Ya sabe como manejar la computudora. So I finished up some paper-work, that necessary part of being a teacher.
In the afternoon, I taught Spanish, reviewed los verbos, y hablamos en Espanol para practicar mas. The students are improving, learning some, but those little burdens of high school kept them from fully paying attention to la maestra. Por ejemplo, los muchachos, jugando y jugando mas! Pegando uno a otro y se reindo de todo! I had to write some referrals, but I didn't lose my patience. Then the 10th grade class comes in, who are more mature, but today the girls wanted to chismar about another girl, whispering and glancing at the girl sitting in the back, making it all obvious they were talking about her. The poor girl was frustrated, and I had to tell her, "it's ok, next week they will be talking about someone else." That's how high school is, verdad? Every week, every day hell, they are talking about someone, then the rumors start. Y despues, they move on to the next person. Chisme! Chisme!
Guess what? I finally made a FB badge for my blog so y'all can see what I look like, and y'all can add me, just let me know if you are a follower so I won't be like who is this stranger trying to add me ?
Kid's are so mean to each other. I work with younger children and I am surprised sometimes at how mean they can be to one another. I wish I could tell them that honestly none of the crap that goes on or is said ever matters in the real world.
