[of-apollo]

man i love teaching. two of my classes have been up in arms today because they found out i’m only placed in their school until dec. kid said he wants me to stay because i’m nice. continuously getting scrumptious feedback from my mentor !!! very much cannot wait to teach more and have my own classroom this time next year !!

I was onboarding my new student employees, and first years are always scared of me for the first few weeks (then they seem to figure out I’m an anxious goofball just doing my best). That was not the case this year.

About 20 or 30 minutes in a student raised their hand “I have an off topic question.”

“Yeah go for it.” I encourage questions and curiosity as much as possible.

“Is that an ao3 tattoo?”

I had to go give them a fist bump and confirm it was indeed an ao3 tattoo. None of my students are scared of me anymore.

One of my students submitted her poem late, and wrote to me when she submitted it that it was late because her laptop broke last night when she spilled a bottle of wine on it, and her poem is about being hungover

LOL UNDERGRADS

Teaching is generally a lot of fun so far but I need my kids to send their homework on time (I keep calling them my kids and my children like they aren’t 2 years younger than me) (but ya know what if they’re going to act like children I will call them children)

@deborahbrucie said: “That is so awesome.  I know you are so proud. It is always so rewarding to see student's results”

Honestly, I don’t think I had an impact on this student. I informed the kids there was a contest and that’s pretty much all I did. She’s very skilled and she seized the opportunity of the contest to make this beautiful drawing. And yes, @deborahbrucie, we both know how it feels when a student achieves something: a wonderful feeling!

Middle-school boys are like Comedic Conquistadors. Not only do they stubbornly refuse to acknowledge that the Peaks of Vulgarity have already been summited before, but they frequently mistake the toilet bowl for the Fountain of Humor.

today one of my students threw a pencil at another student and hit them in the eye, then turned and kicked the boy behind him and then threw his chair at the reading carpet 🧍🏻‍♀️
