Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

No, Emily, you are NOT the worst teacher, evah. Those kids are craxy to make you feel that way. And I even got a mini-math discussion out of you in my car, so I can say that with knowledge....

Sorry to commit such a craven request for ego-soothing, but my mood upon returning home from school was, "The kids hate me, I have no control over the classroom, they think my class is boring, I'm a terrible teacher." And, okay, you guys don't have any way of knowing whether I actually am a crap teacher or not, but you're pretty much all I've got -- I'm not the worst teacher in the world, right?
You're a great teacher. In fact, your few words here have insired me to learn more and build a bright new future for all of humankind.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Oh, love. You really really are not the worst teacher in the world. When I was on my first placement, my mentor told me that in her first year of teaching, she figured she was doing okay to break even at a ratio of one goodish lesson to one lousy lesson - and that was with elementary kids, who are a much more enthusiastic and obedient audience.
What age are they, and what do you feel are your main problems with behaviour management? And what are you teaching them?

Because it will start off satirizing barbarian comics and then it'll become Pope and then it'll get all whiny and eventually it will die alone, unmourned and unloved. And then I'll have to haul the carcass out to the trash.
But it's an organic way to deal with the impending summer ant problem.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm not the worst teacher in the world, right?
I'm fairly certain that I have had at least four of the all-time bottom 100, and, really, compared to them, you could stand at the front of the classroom mocking your students' names and biting the heads off live kittens and you'd still be about fifty brazilian times better.

Always Anti-fascist!
There are systems for filing? Honestly, the only thing I ever really file is my file of Ego-Boosting E-mail with...compliments and good responses to my fanfic and stuff for when I think I'm Unlovable and a Talentless Hack, too.(It helps, although I'm not telling how often I go in there.) Sometimes I find jokes about men funny. But less so as I get closer to more good ones.

She's got a good point there.

Sweetie, I work for them, and I hate MS Word. Possibly more than you, even.
Emily, you are a very very good teacher. Please stop doubting yourself.
