When September Comes

September is here finally!
I have been looking forward to September for a long time. September is supposed to be the perfect month,
Nice weather, A long holiday, a new start. I can maybe become a better teacher but here at Yale its going to be interesting to see how I can become a more efficient teacher.

I am trying to become a more driven person and am relying on my life training from Cross Country and Manito-wish.


Work is changing again. My boss hired a new teacher. She has been here for two days and its already kicking up a stir. Insinuating problems, creating a fuss, not good. What ever hogwash you want to get out of this mumble jumble you can.

Sometimes I am starting to think I like to play with language. more on that later.


She was only here for less than a day and she already complained about my friend Pearl's work, and Christina doesn't like her because she is already judgemental about the kids. She is nice to me but I dont think I will like her much just because she has already created stress for Christina and Pearl.


Last night I realized just how ridiculous work is most of the time. I have 31 classes in a week. I have 4 classes that are my own. I am supposed to give them a report card, a test, a syllabus and cover 1 or 2 chapters each month. But I am having problems communicating to the kids and following the lesson plans just for my classes let alone the 25 other classes I Suppliment during the week. I am supposed to draw up my own lesson plans but in all honesty I havent so far. They dont understand the lessons that they are presented. Sometimes they do but most of the time in my experience I dont feel that they truly understand.

WE just do what we can.



September is going to be challenging though especially since I need to find new books, new lessons, and try to find new materials. I am also getting new kids by the day. I dont even know when I am getting new kids I just see new kids show up in my class.

For example, I had to give this girl a report card and she has only been here for 2 days. And of course I gave her all As.

Sometimes I dont think that the kids learn anything and the A simply means "STAY here and dont leave my academy because I need your money"

I got in trouble once because I told my least favorite class I dont care about the test your grade isn't important I just want you to understand what you did wrong. They got very upset at me and when I told my boss he understood the kids point of view. The philosophy of the academy isn't concerned with the learning of the kids but more with keeping the kids happy.


Anyways, I am headed to work filled with promise about the future with Work, Personal, etc.

Its time to develop stronger goals!
