trendymatt's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kids these days.. I have spent the last few days in high school classrooms observing teachers while they teach my program's HIV education curriculum. Apparently, I spent four years fighting desperately to escape high school only to return after college. Thus, I have determined that deep inside me is a masochist that has been fighting to get out for years. In the past week I have gained quite a lot of respect for teachers and what they have to deal with every day. One can only stand listening to the same lesson so many times in one day before going completely insane, much less repeating the same lesson throughout a class day. Since I am not a teacher and do not have the patience these people must have, I have started keeping little notes on a scratch pad to maintain my sanity. These are my observations on high school life in 2003:
This is but a sampling of the stuff I saw in one day of observation. I have a feeling I'm in for a long ride. I also think I'm going to learn a lot from this group of rag-tag high school sophomores. 8:47 am - 10.24.03 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
