You will never believe what happened today. I got to sleep in today until 6:00. I usually wake up around five but today i spoiled myself. I never thought i would be waking up at the time i used to be going to bed. I used to be a bartender and got to do whatever I wanted and sleep in as long as I wanted. Now I'm up before the crows. After I put on my uncomfortable dress clothes I go on my drive in the pitch black to my cold school.
When i get to school I hae to clean and set up my room because the janitors half-ass their job. An hour later the kids start showing up for first period. I teach fifth grade word problems to start of my day. Not exactly something to change my negative attitude. Kids are always tired in first period so teaching them anything is a challenge. A young boy named Matthew never stays awake. He doesn't come from a very well off family so he doesn't sleep well. What am I supposed to do? Waking him up does nothing and its not his fault he is always tired. Its a lose-lose situation for me.
In second period I teach accelerated math to 7th graders. They are for the most part a good class but you always get those little pricks in your class that think they know it all. Mine is Joseph. He always has an argument and thinks he is smarter than me. It is very annoying and I think it's because he reminds me of myself when I was his age. I always knew karma was real. I guess I finally get what i deserve, a little version of myself.
My third period is pre-algebra to 6th graders. The class rarely pays attention to me. Everyone is thinking about lunch and recess and being able to see there other brat-like friends. I once tried to teach them a lesson by giving them a pop quiz. Half the class failed that quiz. Of course, when i handed them back half the kids started crying and what seemed like the other half all had their parents calling me that night complaining. Don't need drama when all I do is deal with it so can't do that again.
My final class is 8th grade geometry. It is my least favorite class to teach. The kids all return from recess and all smell terrible. They all fart and burp like crazy from the food they just ate as well, making my room smell like a shithole. They all also have ants in their pants because they are all so excited to go home. To make matters worse, if possible, is 8th graders hormones are going crazy. I have a couple in the back of the room that hold hands and grope each other the whole time. You shouldnt' do that but what am I supposed to do. Can't get them in trouble with their parents, just make them want to do it even more. I can never win.
