My cooperating teacher was out sick today and it was just the classes, the sub, and me. I must admit that while this cartoon is a joke, sometimes it seems like a great idea. There are times when I think I am NEVER going to get a handle on classroom management. Each class is different and there are so many dynamics about teenagers that I believe I am never going to figure out. It is amazing to me what makes them tick and what their interests are other than English. Now, even though the junior high mascot IS actually a tiger, I don't see them allowing live tigers in the classrooms any time soon. So, until then, I guess I will just take it one ounce of hormones at a time. Although the pay isnt great and it is a thankless job - I couldn't imagine to anything else other than teaching.
