Day One with Psycho Lady
It's my first day in a new school. I was greeted by my cooperating teacher and she proceeded to complain about her students. "They all act up and that's the way it is. If you can't beat 'em join 'em." Not the attitude I was looking for. All day today she was in CSE meetings so she dumped me off in the class next door. I had a great time in Mr. C's class. He's a funny guy. After 60 minutes with this woman I wanted to scream. I looked through her class and saw packets, packets and more packets! She wrote on the board that students will be completing their packets and starting a new one. She curses like a sailor and lets out every bad word in front of her students. She allows them to curse in class and curses with them and at them. She said to a student who was in the Shakespeare workshop, "You have to stopping fucking saying the fucking F-word in this class, remember you are not in my classroom." What a terrible lesson to teach your students. She spent the entire first period with this other teacher and the security guards bad mouthing the students. As she dumped me into her colleague's class she saw they were eating girl scout cookies and said, "cover your ears kids, I love this vodka drink that tastes like a samoa cookie." I have no idea how this woman is as a teacher but I have seen some of the most unprofessional behavior of my life. I suspect that she is trying to be friends with the students rather than be their teacher. I will have to investigate further when I see her in front of the class.
