You can take your arrogance and shove it!

This is my message to a not-so-humble teacher. I have observed you teach. You seem to have a solid base of content knowledge. You have a good class presence and happen to be teaching the most well-behaved students. You're lucky. You have a nice gig and you're doing a good job. BUT... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You do not know everything that there is to know about the teaching profession. I am sick of you talking in such a condescending tone about everything that you know. You are so quick to shoot down most of what I say, so there's no point in really saying anything. I know you don't care. It's really all about you. All I want to do is keep a friendly working relationship with you. I am not below you. We are in the same position on even ground here. If you fail to recognize that it's fine. I will do my own thing and be my own success story. This is all still new to me. I haven't taught in a while. Once I am able to get a handle on this I can shine through and be my own good teacher. I look forward to that happening.
