Let me give you the run-down of my unproductive day of hell. My idea of hell is a day with no plan, where I am supposed to sit in a chair for four hours and then move to another chair and sit there until the day is over.
7:30am- I arrive to get the last parking spot. I wait outside his class until 7:50am
8:00am- Students arrive and help themselves to some bagels. Students sit and talk for over an hour
9:30am Mr. S takes students to the library to view TED talks on the computers but only four students comply, the rest sit and talk.
10:00am Mr. S takes the students outside, and I sit with three students who want to watch the videos. We watch them for several hours.
1:00pm The pizza arrives and twenty students wolf down five pies in less than five minutes
1:04pm Mr. S takes everyone back outside until dismissal. Another painful hour and fifteen minutes of nothing.
2:15pm Bell rings. Freedom! Students leave painfully bored.
They must have felt like they were punished for not having the money or the proper behavior to go on the more exciting trips. As they logged onto the computer the school's homepage displays pictures of the students at the Magic Kingdom. I'm sure they are having fun, but I still don't see the educational significance.
