This is my first rant! You don’t HAVE to read it.
So today I was teaching a second grade class, most of them were wonderful, but a few were pests. A girl brought in a laptop for show and tell, a barbie laptop. I lost my voice talking all day, repeating instructions. They whine, complain or simply don’t want to complete the tasks. They wanted to talk only about a fox that had chased the third graders yesterday. Then there was a lock down. They fought over who hides where and created a racket. They are needy. Now remember I am not complaining about the entire class just the handful who were too hyper, or disconnected to focus. At the end of the day they asked me whether I would come again soon, said they loved me. I am never going back to elementary school, it is not my cup of tea, I like the high school kids. Wonder how the elementary regular teachers cope day in and day out, what a huge pain it is , kudos to these brave teachers.
