GRRR...

A slump.
That's what I feel like I'm in. First, I had my observation for our learning differences class and I really thought my lesson was going to go well. Then, of course, the opposite happens and the kids start acting mento. They start losing focus, and start asking stupid questions like, "How do you do this again?" or my favorite, "What are we supposed to do?" So..that sucked. Then came my workshop. Teaching those "PINS" kids can be so tiring and frustrating. I swear I taught them how to do two-step equations (and they were getting really good at it), but after today's workshop class, it felt like it was the first time they ever saw it. Now I don't mind helping them, but if they ain't taking it seriously, it sucks....it truly sucks. One kid was actually whining so much that it almost caused the vein on my temple to explode. I had to even look at the little sayings I had on my desk to remind myself why I'm here..why I'm teaching these kids. That didn't really save me from the headache that was coming, nor did the bell at the end of the day. Even now, it's still bothering me. Oh well, TGIF.
