School is a rollercoaster of events no matter if you attend the institution or if you work at the institution. Today was eventful in the sense that my last class of the day has a very interesting group of kids who are quite different from the ideal bunch of students that we all would like to think replicates a growing educational environment. It's not so much that they bother me, but they make attempts on certain days to bother others in the classroom. It's an obstacle, and this is teaching. I, unfortunately, had to address the small group after school with the hopes of reshaping their thinking and preparing them for a better tomorrow - we will surely see.
My pre-teacher, however, seems to enjoying herself. In fact, she had the opportunity to visit another class today (12th grade English), and tour the building. I think she is going to be a relatively good teacher (hard to tell; it's sort of early), because she is very observant and receptive. The other aspects of extensive content knowledge, educational policies, and classroom leadership will follow as she continues through the educational program at her college, but she is fairing well for a freshman.
