Once in a while I get a class that I’m sure the teacher just loves but the environment she created is so far off from what I’d want that it’s hard to deal with. Sometimes it’s one where the kids seem to get away with a lot[1], but most of the time it’s an elementary school where the kids don’t even try to talk while doing their work. This was one of those days.
The worst behaved kid was reading while he should’ve been doing other work. Reading, how terrible. I wish that was my biggest problem everyday.
The best part of the day was that the kids had clubs or something similar at the end of the day. I asked another teacher what we can do about dismissing since I’m not allowed to do any afterschool duty or be responsible for where the kids end up. She looked like she was going to freak out about that. Then she remembered about the clubs. The kids got dismissed from there and I didn’t have a club. End of the day break time for me.
