Placement Disaster!

So I just began my first half of week at the B-Mountain High School and I'm bored out of my skull. I was asked to proctor exams the first two days, so the expectation was low. What I thought was supposed to be a prime student teaching gig at a prime school, has turned out to be a major disappointment. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The only positive thing about this placement is the cooperating teacher. He is a nice guy. Although he seems to do nothing all day, he has great ideas about creative projects for special education students. He also cares about his students, unlike most of the other teachers whom he said view special ed kids as "lazy" and "unmotivated." I can understand why these kids might be unmotivated. If I am reading at a fourth grade level, and a teacher demands that I complete work that is way out of my range of ability, of course I'm not going to make the effort. I would feel defeated. The only thing left to do is freak out.
