6:am---What a day....I set out to do 13 today..and guess what? I ran about a mile--got a phone call that they needed a sub at the highschool. So I ran an 8:30 mile back and got dressed and showered in like 15 minutes and rushed over to the highschool. I'm sooooo glad my degree will not allow me to teach highschool. They weren't bad. Actualy they listened pretty well but it was sooooooo boring! They are on block scheduleing 90 minutes! the teacher did not give them enough to do. And the stuff she did give them was boring! I'm glad I brought homework and such.

And I was so mad-the middle school called at around 8:30 wanting a sub--I'm like oh man!

This weas my frist time at the h.s.--and I will never do it again. The sub coordinator was very cranky and expected me to file for her (i only filed b/c this other lady was super nice). The lunchroom had a definate sub and staff tables. Usually I'm fairly warmly welcomed. I do not like the big stranger atmospher of the highschool...plus I never really liked h.s. while I was there. No wonder teenagers feel alienated!

Any who--I have a class tonight so the long run will have to wait till tomorrow...or maybe saturday...we shall see!

I wouldn't last two minutes in a high school! It's sad to see the state of our public ed system. Good thing there are some good teachers who can make a difference out there.

My husband taught 5th graders for the last 5 years. This year he's at the high school because the cut the music program at the elementary school. It's really a struggle for him.

That is a shame about the cuts! I think music should be around--studies show it helps with learning math!

JD--I had to tell to kids tht I didn't want to hear about their conquests anymore. Unfortunately, I smile when I'm sarcastic and I get sarcastic with teeny boppers--so it became a battle of wits or sarcasm...I won...but I don't care to do that every day!
