maggsmaggs Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I know I am glad that high school is basically over and I really don't have to work during school for the rest of year. Anyone else feeling second semester senioritis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Yea, I'm going through this, although I've been done doing work since September when I got accepted to college. School is a joke now, just a waste of my time. I want out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowerCaseRepublican Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I wish I had the ability to slack off. My last semester is 14 weeks of student teaching. 7 weeks in Rantoul teaching 7th grade social studies and then 7 weeks teaching World History/AP US History to juniors and seniors in high school in Mahomet. So, I get to lesson plan, grade, create worksheets/assignments/tests/study guides, proctor classes, go to team/administration meetings, make copies, make overheads, break up arguments/fights, stop kids from misbehaving (which is very fun -- I had to lay down the law with this kid the very first day, so now a lot of the students think I'm a hardass), give detentions & then watch over said detentions, etc. etc. And oh yeah, I'm paying to do this. But all senioritis sour grapes aside, I really do love it. I start teaching next week with the Industrial Revolution. It should be pretty fun. I'm going to have them weigh the massive benefits of the IR against the problems it caused then tie it to current times with the benefits of outsourcing labor against the problems it causes. (I'm even thinking of using a clip of 'South Park' being the "They Took Our Jobs!" thing) I'm not going to try to sway them either way but rather just grade on their ability to justify and back up their position that they take on a lot of the homework & part of the test. Plus, you get to engage all the facts/factoids that you encounter so they'll have to know the basics before they can argue. It isn't about teaching them what to think but rather HOW to think (in process of making a logical decision) It should be a lot of fun. The first 7 weeks class only goes til the Civil War and we're already in the early 1800s in the end of January so we've got time to kill, hahaha. Then I get to teach high schoolers from the Russian Revolution on in World History from mid-March to May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 For those of you who don't have a job when the summer break comes around, enjoy it, because it's likely it ain't going to happen again (unless you're a lazy bum). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 s***, next Tuesday I start back up. Last semester of college and my schedule should be pretty relaxing. Got a 4 day weekend every week and one of my classes is softball and I'm taking one other 100 level class. Than I got my final cumalitive business class (basically covers all the stuff you learned) and one finance class. Gonna make sure I enjoy it, cause starting September I become a full time working stiff and college is gonna be the place I wish I still was, lol.
