Tenth Classroom...
It is Summer School and too hot for a self-proclaimed lava monster to find much joy in taking her small class out for recess.
I have a mixture of English Language Learners, General education, and Special education.
Three of my students have unmediated ADHD…
I’m beginning to see myself in a whole new light…
I must have been an annoying kid to wind up on such strong ADHD meds by the time I graduated high school…
My third grade teacher apparently couldn’t put up with me being a disorganized mess. She kept begging my parents to up my dose even though my grades were A’s and B’s.
There were no ADHD experts in our area…so I get to learn this now as an adult.
I’m in my thirties and I am often mistaken for my twenties…both in physical appearance and in my mannerisms…
How embarrassing…
I hope he’s lying...
I sometimes wonder what parents are thinking when they shroud their children in ignorance…
Are they protecting themselves from having to explain the virus?
Are they bamboozled into thinking that there is no pandemic?
They vaccinate their son against the flu yet he has no idea what ‘corona’ or ‘covid-19’ is…
What does he think of these masks then? A sudden fashion trend?
At least he wasn’t told it was all an elaborate hoax…
Oh Dear...
“Give me your phone number!”
It does not seem to matter to her that she is six and I am…not.
Yes, I started my teaching journey rather late…
Secretarial work just wasn’t cutting it anymore…
Again, it didn’t matter to her that I am several years older…
I am the ‘fun’ teacher…the ‘nice’ teacher…the ‘pretty’ teacher.
What I lack in classroom management (since this is my first year), I make up for in enthusiasm, kindness, creativity, subject knowledge, and yes…fun.
This was not fun…
I had to leave a note with her ‘every day teacher’ that little girl insisted that I give her my cell phone number.
I did not, for the record…
I am weird and admittedly a little immature, not predatory!
Tired...
No energy
Still rather depressed at times
Creativity.
Background Check...
I passed both Praxises
Yet I am so forgetful…
My brain has a fog.
