Yeah, That'll Teach You A Lesson: September 2006

http://teachyoualesson.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html

Yeah, That'll Teach You A Lesson. Can a second year teacher know it all? Saturday, September 30, 2006. In my ear. (Earlier in the week I had been told I had "dumps like a truck." Funny, I never knew.) On a daily basis I am threatened, cursed at, ducking thrown pens and crumpled papers, dodging insults and propelled booksit’s life. I am asleep before 10:30PM. Without fail.

Yeah, That'll Teach You A Lesson. Can a second year teacher know it all? Monday, July 31, 2006. I feel like I am set up to learn a lot about race and acceptance in my future years teaching in. And I also think I’ll have my heart broken due to race-related slings and arrows of prejudice. What credibility does a white girl have walking into an inner-city high school where the students are mostly black with a dash of latino? Like politically correct pets. So where do I fit in, the white educator? I was kind...

It’s been a full week and then some since the incident of assault, and something remains to be fishy. I spoke with my chapter leader only twice during the past weeks, once over the phone when he told me to press charges from my house, and I saw him last Wednesday for a fleeting in the halls where he gave me a number to call. The phone number was incorrect, and I didn’t even know. Links to this post. Mind yo...

Yeah, That'll Teach You A Lesson. Can a second year teacher know it all? Wednesday, February 28, 2007. At 8:30 this morning a faculty member took my aside to warn me that yesterday a paraprofessional (the faculty member wouldn’t say who) had told the principal that a student told her I had used explicit. Language towards them in class. I just want to teach. 95% of the energy I process is engaged in teaching and my grad classes, my social life and loved ones are pretty much put on hold. I DO NOT. Today wa...

It's almost 11PM, and I just finished the reading homework and a journal assignment for tomorrow's Fellowship class. The classes have really been working me hard, and I can't remember the last time I picked up a book of my own. Today's assignment came out of Dominic Belmonte's book:. Teaching from the Deep End.

Yeah, That'll Teach You A Lesson. Can a second year teacher know it all? Sunday, December 31, 2006. Back From Christmas Vacation. I’m back from my Christmas retreat. I felt like I needed to not only leave the classroom, but escape the city that is home to the rage and torment that seethes in my students. Did I tell you? Starting on Tuesday, we have a new principal. I’m sure the transition will bode exceptionally well with the kiddies. Yeah right. Providence provides. I was coming up empty for lesson ...

It’s almost 10PM, and I sit at my computer sipping some cold Ovaltine, reflecting on sore feet and a very long day. I expected the first day of classes to be hectic and troublesome, but not the day which teacher return to the classroom to setup and gather for workshops. I am a wreck, seriously exhausted, but dying to get back into the classroom and do it again tomorrow. Except I walke...

Congratulate me: I’m half as inexperienced as I was half a school year ago. That’s right, February marks the halfway point through my first year of teaching. And boy, was it ever an uphill battle! I draw a big X. Important things I’ve learned so far:. Student: Yo, son, I’m dead ass! Ms C: Hun, could you explain how your ass died? Student: Yo, miss, you’re whack! In a few ways I...

Recently I attended a lecture given by Sonia Nieto, the education guru who wrote/edited. What Keeps Teachers Going. Teaching Fellows can think outside the box, Ms. Nieto, because we come from outside the box. Fellows usually hold other jobs before teaching, and bring those experiences to the classroom. I'm not saying every single Alt. Ce...It’s the last...
