i taught today for the first time!

[xfer]

i think i was pretty good!

i was supposed to meet my preprac supervisor at 9am, but she had a spinal tap and called me at 8:10 (i was in the shower) and was like "i can't come so just show up at teacher X's classroom at 8:36" !!! thank god i checked voice mail so i could leap into my clothes and run to school!

i still don't know what the hell i'm doing but at least the kids don't know that. also, i should note it's weird how teachers all refer to each other as "mr. driver" and "ms. coyle" and stuff.

 

[lizard]

did anyone give you an apple?

 

[Firedwarf]

I thought they only did the Mr. Teacher thing in front of students?

 

[xfer]

well i guess even when students are peripherally around they do it. but students are always peripherally around. i mean, i guess if i bedded a teacher she wouldn't call me "mr. driver" during afterglow or anything.

 

[avi]

or maybe they would?

 

[xfer]

actually that would be HOTTTT

 

[xfer]

unless she was a student. then it would be impossibly creepy.

 

[azal]

I only taught once, and I was horrified.

I interview for a ESL type school here, but I was teaching to mid 30s business types, who needed to imprive their english.

And they were all nasty to me because a 23 year old with a vagina beard was teaching them stuff.

Needless to day, I didn't get the job.

glad yours went well though!

 

[minxnim]

glad it went well! my first day all the kids thought i was a new student

 

[xfer]

i SPECIFICALLY wore a nice shirt and tie so they couldn't do that to me. i was honestly the best dressed out of all the faculty--everyone else had jeans and polo shirts on.

 

[Autumn Falls]

Yea jeans and polo.

[Baliset]

you should wear jeans and a dress shirt and tie like mr. low used to do at aquinas. that was you can be the "cool" guy teacher.

 

[minxnim]

well girl teachers can't wear ties so i was screwed

 

[xfer]

i'm going to be the "cool" guy teacher but with pleated pants.

they told me no jeans! wtg.

 

[goatschool]

great

 

[minxnim]

omg they ARE pleated? UGH.

 

[xfer]

i don't know, i'm assuming they are because i'm pessimistic. i'm picking them up from the tailor's tomorrow.

 

[minxnim]

dear god i hope they're not. maybe we can start a fund to replace them if they are.

 

[minxnim]
