Yep,
sure, I was cooler last year. I let you get away with talking, being goofy, and
not buckling down on your work because I was using every ounce of my teaching
prowess to try and break the bad habits you picked up with three months of subs
and keep you and several other kids from fighting, throwing things and otherwise
mauling each other during class. So yeah, I guess I was cooler last year, but I
wasn’t the teacher I normally am, I was the best teacher I could be under the
circumstances.
One
of my kiddos, a 6 foot tall 8th grade boy who reminds me so much of
my goofy best friend in elementary school raised his hand so politely and asked
“so, like, Ms. N. – are you trying to be more professional or something?” I was
caught so off guard that I wasn’t sure whether to laugh, cry or reprimand his
impertinence!
When
I finally got my wits about me, I explained to him and the rest of the class
what my teaching style is really like and how last year wasn’t the best example…
LOL
