Man, I wasn't miserable for any portion of the day today! Was it the extra caffeine? I don't know... The kids are a lot better disciplined than they were last week. I told them all to make a point of having a good week- it's a relatively short one(super early why-did-we-show-up dismissal) and then another three day weekend.
Of course, I'm sure there is some banal 5 hour long meeting for usthis friday. Educators seem no more concerned about wasting each other's time than they do about wasting their students time. Of course that doesn't stop any of them from starting literally every single part of the meeting by saying "I know you're all in a hurry to get out of here so I'll make it quick."
Now wait a second, this was supposed to be a positive posting.
Let me try this again.
Lessons went relatively painlessly. I am taking more charge and I can tell it is helping my cooperating teacher. She's having a lot more time to take care of her business. My setup is so unconventional that it's hard for me to tell how much responsibility is really mine. I'm entering the grades, writing the tests, making the worksheets, planning reading, social studies and science, etc. Because of the weird structure, though, nobody is in complete control.
Also, this weekend I learned that I now know everyone at Wal-Mart.
