wine wine wine

The entire MAT program should be devoted to telling people they are going to suck their first year. How could we possible be good our first year of teaching. We've never taught the material before, and we've never taught before. It's bull crap. The whole program is stupid... it should be a program for people after their first year of teaching. NO wonder so many people quit after their first year, it's a whole year of sucking. no body likes to suck. I hate the word suck... anyway

I'm really good with little kids. My mom is good with little kids. Little kids out in public love me cuz I make faces at them and shit. And I don't ever hit them like their mommies and daddies. Hitting kids is wrong, unless their bratty high school kids. YEAH!!!!!

Math is easy

Math has always come really easy to me. I saw friends in high school who really struggled with it. If I had to struggle with math I don't think I would have put in the effort to understand it. I don't see the inherent worth of knowing math. Teaching is sales. If I am not passionate about math will I still be a good salesman?

As a graduate student, I am questioning the purpose of high school education as it is set up. Why do these kids need to know math that they are never going to use? I feel like a lot of what I learned in high school was pointless. I was going to college whether or not I learned in high school because my parents instilled in me the value of college. My parents put in the effort when I was younger so that all I had to do was get decent grades.

Although, could my ease in math be due to the good teaching I recieved by my 7th grade teacher? Would it have helped if he taught me when I was a junior? Did it have something to do with the kindergarten education I recieved?

How meaningful can I really be as a teacher in high school? Am I just questioning it because I'm afraid I won't be good?
