Switching Teams
August 31, 2008 by Ms. R
That’s what it feels like -but not in a bad way. I started student teaching this week and so far, it has been GREAT. (I can practically see your eyes rolling right now!) “She’s totally in the honeymoon phase,” right? But I don’t think that’s the case. I’m definitely not saying “clear sailing all the way” or anything like that because I know, I mean I KNOW things aren’t going to be easy. Some days will be pull-your-hair-out tough. Other days will be crazy, exhausting, frustrating, disappointing, and more, but that’s OK. I’m just saying that this is a package deal and I’m willing to take the good with the bad because in the end, the good always kicks the bad’s ass. Anyone ever see a little movie called Stand and Deliver? I can’t imagine it’d be as well-received if Mr. Escalante gave up because he hit a rough patch. If that were the case, this would probably be the worst movie ever. So even though I’m very much a rookie still trying to learn the ropes, I am seriously looking forward to every experience (both good and bad) that awaits me in this next year and beyond!
Oh and this is beside the point, but eating in the teacher/staff room is so weird. I feel like I should be playing 4-square outside…

First day of class when my class was wildin out at 8:45am, i thought about Stand and Deliver…and then making a mad dash to the parking lot and going home for the rest of the day/week/year (not very Mr. Escalante-esque, no?).
But I’m glad you’re having a great experience so far, Ms. R…keep it going!
