Into the land of academia…or OZ
I teach my first college class tomorrow night. I’m ready, but it is a little nerve racking. I’m trying to remember myself as a freshman. You know, clueless. I’m not overly concerned with the teaching aspect. I just hope I don’t have some DA in the class who wants to show how much he knows. You know the type. The one that throws something out there to get the prof off topic or see if they can get the better of him/her. No time or patience for that.
I do have to sing praises for my current hs freshman. This is the best group I have ever taught. They are not the brightest bulbs in the box, as a whole, but they are good kids. Their main goal is not to make my life miserable. Over the last few years I taught some spoiled twits that made teaching miserable. I am actually enjoying teaching this year. Honestly, I think everyone should change jobs every few years just to gain perspective and keep life fresh.
