We now have co=teachers in Kinder and 1st grade, which helps a great deal. 4th and 5th are chatty, but I manage. 2nd and 3rd grade are impossible. I want to scream at them and tell them how much they suck. Ay. Dios mio. I realllizzzzzzzeeeeeeeee that they are not bad kids, and that all kids have the potential to behave. I know this. I know all kids are precious, etc. But they make me go crazy, and I seriously dislike "teaching" (babysitting) them.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Is it June yet?

Hi Chel,
Sounds like things went well today, eh? As I recall, you were thinking of being a guidance counselor but you needed to teach first. This was to find out if you like teaching/working in schools. Since you already know you don't, this will have to be an experience in learning to persevere, building your character, finding the positive when it's not apparent it's there, and coming to terms with doing your best and letting go of the ultimate outcome. Life is hard. Take one day at a time. Build a support system. Pray for strength and compassion. Love Mom
Well, Chel, apparently I can't top Mary "Crocker" Barnes in the motivational speaking... but think on the bright side: you get to leave knowing you will never have hoodlums/"kids with potential" of your own flesh and blood as obnoxious and high in number as your students. Think of their parents. Think. of. their. parents. View your "educating" as free daycare for the less fortunate, you pure soul, you.
Chel, There is a word for Post Office frustration. It is called 'postal'. What would the word for teaching frustration be? Teachal? Reachal, Beachal? Seachal?
Love you, miss you! Hang in there.
