amywonDudes and Dudettes,
It has been far too long. I am remiss. I even meant to start writing again to continue on with the BSOM saga that is my hate/begrudgingly-put-up-with-shit-to-get-what-I-want relationship with the Steiner Education Group, here after referred to as SEG. I'll tag BSOM and SEG to deliniate between student and teachingness.
TONIGHT AND TONIGHT ONLY!
Not really, I'll be teaching for a minimum of 2 years. Tonight was a challenge and my first night as Oh-ficial teacher. I arrived early because I needed to know how to use the slides available on the AV equipment. Getting tired so I'll bullet and fill in later :)
Faculty
S.M. shitty re: which class I had. So the Dean of Education berated me asking which class I was with. I arrived at school early to take care of things and verify which class. She says in front of the staff in the teacher's lounge, I might have to send you home, come to my office. She then verifies which class and sends me on my way.
BULLSHIT, It pissed me off enough that I email her direct, I don't CC anyone because this gives her a chance to be a cunt or just a bold faced bitch. I ask her if in the future she feels the need to discipline me, to not do so in front of the staff. She says, she's very sarcastic, didn't mean for it to be taken that way and as I get to know her I'll figure that out.
Riiiiiiight, not my first time at this rodeo.
TA no show - My TA was another instructor that I'm sure was thrown off by the Wed/Fri schedule because of President's day. It's normally m/w, no harm no foul and honestly I feel like I did better with no one there to "watch me".
Beg for help - I beg the other teachers for help in locating the slides needed for this class. They also give me their version of a manual - a student verison with extensive notes.
Check ins on breaks - The other teachers did stop in on breaks to make sure I was ok and no one set the school on fire.
Students
Crack heads talking to themselves - JFC, these two women are so fried they talk to themselves entirely too much and can barely pay attention, do not follow along at all. After the second class that I've had with them at this point I'm making them sit on the outsides, closest to the board and where I can immediately go over and point to where we are at. They hold up the class and the class yells at them. NO SHANKING, unless it's me shanking someone.
Poop-boy - guy from another class I TA-ed has irritable bowel and a host of other body problems. Had to leave early, I can only imagine...
Hung up on Mblex - There will always be one (or more) student(s) hung up on the big test required for being a massage therapist. Has to know will blah be on this test. Will it be phrased in this way. OMFG - just get this in your head first.
Adimit about proxial/distal inferior/supeior - Same student hung up on bug test NEEDS TO KNOW which one of these directions will be on the test OR THEIR LIFE IS OVERRRRRRRRRR. They are really interchangeable except that proximal and distal do not change when the limb is moved.
Liked me but who knows if they learned anything - They did well on the quiz and as of Mon said that anyone else trying to explain things to them confuses them. Go me? Fuck my life?
Sum up
WINGED IT LIKE A PRO!
1 student took the quiz early and passed flying colors. Got a half point wrong.
Everyone is aware HW and quiz on Friday
Handed in paperwork/timesheets
Chased out of building by MOD, did not complete grading or grade HW handed in.
Left my boots at work - True and my country music band name.
