This morning I went to Cookeville High School for an observation. I watched a French I class for about 25 minutes. (I left when they headed to the language lab.) Before class, they had to retrieve their workbooks from a bookshelf about 4 feet from my chair. At least six students knocked into me while getting their notebooks and not a single one said "Excuse me." High schoolers, at least at CHS, are very rude. It also gave me very little hope for ever having fun teaching a high school French class. It seemed like the teacher had to practically pull teeth to get a response out of the students. Sigh. On an even sadder note, the pink shoes, while fabulous, are very uncomfortable. That does not, however, mean that I won't wear them occasionally.
On an unrelated note, I am really craving Chinese food.

At my highschool there were 3 spanish teachers I got the good one. We played games to remember words and did a lot of activities, presentations, and parties to celebrate spanish holidays. For the other two teachers getting responses was like pulling teeth but that teacher had no problem. Any highschool class can be boring and any highschool class can be the best class the kids ever took. It all depends on you the teacher. Good luck.

That's because these kids belong to "Generation Asshole."
