Chuchería: December 2006

http://lachucheria.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html

Saturday, December 30, 2006. Is anyone else out there who is NOT on Beta Blogger having trouble posting pictures? I cannot for the life of me post any freaking pictures on my blog. Anyone know who to contact for help? Also, I am in the market for a makeover for my blog and am pretty ignorant when it comes to blogskins. What do I do to make my blog look like MY blog (as opposed to the free template that I've been using)? And how do I go about doing it? And how much might it cost me? Dear Family Members,.

Chuchería: November 2006

http://lachucheria.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, November 30, 2006. Last night we had the 2nd of 4 quarterly parent-teacher conferences. They are held in the cafeteria from 4:30 until 7:30 pm (duh). I dread them, mostly because it makes for a long day, and by the end, I am just fried from doing all the meet and greet. I usually have about 30 conferences in 3 hours. It makes my head spin. And? I of course had the typical "helicopter" parents, the ones whose kids are getting an A in Spanish 4, and it's effortless for them. They are the ones...

Yeah, That'll Teach You A Lesson: September 2006

Yeah, That'll Teach You A Lesson. Can a second year teacher know it all? Saturday, September 30, 2006. In my ear. (Earlier in the week I had been told I had "dumps like a truck." Funny, I never knew.) On a daily basis I am threatened, cursed at, ducking thrown pens and crumpled papers, dodging insults and propelled booksit’s life. I am asleep before 10:30PM. Without fail.

Yeah, That'll Teach You A Lesson. Can a second year teacher know it all? Monday, July 31, 2006. I feel like I am set up to learn a lot about race and acceptance in my future years teaching in. And I also think I’ll have my heart broken due to race-related slings and arrows of prejudice. What credibility does a white girl have walking into an inner-city high school where the students are mostly black with a dash of latino? Like politically correct pets. So where do I fit in, the white educator? I was kind...

Yeah, That'll Teach You A Lesson. Can a second year teacher know it all? Monday, October 30, 2006. It’s been a full week and then some since the incident of assault, and something remains to be fishy. I spoke with my chapter leader only twice during the past weeks, once over the phone when he told me to press charges from my house, and I saw him last Wednesday for a fleeting in the halls where he gave me a number to call. The phone number was incorrect, and I didn’t even know. Links to this post. Mind yo...

Yeah, That'll Teach You A Lesson. Can a second year teacher know it all? Wednesday, February 28, 2007. At 8:30 this morning a faculty member took my aside to warn me that yesterday a paraprofessional (the faculty member wouldn’t say who) had told the principal that a student told her I had used explicit. Language towards them in class. I just want to teach. 95% of the energy I process is engaged in teaching and my grad classes, my social life and loved ones are pretty much put on hold. I DO NOT. Today wa...

It's almost 11PM, and I just finished the reading homework and a journal assignment for tomorrow's Fellowship class. The classes have really been working me hard, and I can't remember the last time I picked up a book of my own. Today's assignment came out of Dominic Belmonte's book:. Teaching from the Deep End.

Yeah, That'll Teach You A Lesson. Can a second year teacher know it all? Sunday, December 31, 2006. Back From Christmas Vacation. I’m back from my Christmas retreat. I felt like I needed to not only leave the classroom, but escape the city that is home to the rage and torment that seethes in my students. Did I tell you? Starting on Tuesday, we have a new principal. I’m sure the transition will bode exceptionally well with the kiddies. Yeah right. Providence provides. I was coming up empty for lesson ...

Yeah, That'll Teach You A Lesson. Can a second year teacher know it all? Thursday, August 31, 2006. Ms C's Got (A) Class! It’s almost 10PM, and I sit at my computer sipping some cold Ovaltine, reflecting on sore feet and a very long day. I expected the first day of classes to be hectic and troublesome, but not the day which teacher return to the classroom to setup and gather for workshops. I am a wreck, seriously exhausted, but dying to get back into the classroom and do it again tomorrow. Except I walke...
