Cool Sh*T, Maynerd!

Subbed for the second day today, American and World History. FUN!

The teacher had arranged everything so all I had to do was watch. The groups mainly made posters relating to the French Revolution, and whether it was successful or not. I wish I could be there for the debut.

Teenagers. Doubts. Rebellion against control. Hormones. LIFE! All sorts of reactions--friendly, limit pushing, curious.

One girl took the bathroom pass out, and (alledgedly) snuck into the girl's locker room with a boy. I don't know why, although all the students do. (Or all have theories...) A coach came looking for her, and found her on the second pass, as I originally triggered on the "boy" and said no-one had left the class. This may be a real problem with my subbing there, if he bothered to put in a complaint, but I was very non-plused by the way he just barged into the classroom then failed to acknowledge me. Too low on the totem pole, I guess, although twice the size of it. (Joke!) We will see.

Teaching Is Fun. (Administrivia Sucks, and they give horrible instructions.)

One of the reasons I taught at the local community college.
