Have you ever felt like your stuck in a dream and need a good, ice-cold bucket of water to wake you up? That's usually how I feel about twice a week... with my adventures in babysitting.... I mean teaching... high schoolers. They come in pissed at the world, which makes me pissed at them because they don't understand how good they have it... which means that we all sit on half-light fusses until the first firecracker explodes.
Those days are the days that I regret my decision to declare a major while under the influence. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't "that" drunk... just one to many Smirnoff Green Apples. Throw in a laptop and I was in business!! This makes me wonder how many other bad or horrific decision that I have made while under the influence. Many came to mind as I typed that sentence... but we will save those stories for another day.Why is it that although I love teaching, I am always looking for something better? Could it be the crappy pay... probably... I do love a good bag and a nice pair of shoes!! Or could it be that this is really my passion, and in order for me to not retire in Iceland, I've got to come up with a solution in order to help our next generation succeed.
If you could make changes to our current education system, what are some things that you would want to see changed??
