Special Education Observation Program

So I begged and pleaded to be squeezed in, all to see a bunch of really obscene things I didn't think were possible. But that's the board of ed. for you.

Those two days were filled with a bunch of examples of "what not to do" as a teacher. I am really amazed at how crappy a lot of these teachers were. Granted a few of them were in their first year, but still. So uninspiring. I have yet to see a teacher I think has really got something worthwhile to sit through. It was like going to high school all over again. oh hell.

REMEMBER THIS: One thing I do what to point out, particularly so I don't forget. Ms. E's english class was by far the most offensive display of terrible teaching. First of all she spent most of the period screaming at everyone for everything and wondering why no one did the homework or any of the classwork, or any work for that matter. I'm not surprised lady. I had to fight an huge urge to throw something, turn a chair over, run around in circles screaming, boy I wanted to raise hell in her class. What really got me was how she spoke to them. She used this little baby voice. They are 16 for Christ's sake. What the hell? No wonder nobody wants to listen to you. And I felt bad for her, too. She looked like she wanted to kill herself. Even if you do wish to end your life, it doesn't help your students to display such an attitude.
