Today I don't know if I can do this.

Today sucks, I'll be honest. I'm at school right now, babysitting a bunch of kids who don't understand anything. Here is a list.

1. The difference between themselves and adults. Here it is: having and upholding responsibilities greater than whether or not they're going to do their homework or smoke pot instead.

2. Teachers are people, not objects you attempt to break down with repeated and blatant disrespect.

3. The fact that swearing makes them look ignorant.

4. The idea of life beyond high school, including making a living and supporting yourself and your family.

5. I. Can. See (and hear). You.

Of course, there are good kids. And for the most part, they're good at heart. I'm just too tired to deal with some kid saying to me, "It's not my fault you took this job." No, but it's your fault that it sucks.
Anyway, I just needed to complain a little bit. Sorry I don't have any clever/funny stories today. I was thinking of getting a job as a full-time teacher someday, but now I don't think I want to. I just don't like stupid people.

You and my brother should commiserate. His blog is ROA and it's linked to mine. He's got a lot of those same issues with his 4th graders.

YOU CAN DO IT!!! :-)
