i know i'm not supposed to like one student more than another, or one class, or anything... but i think i've found my favourite class. there are two really smart boys who are eager to learn and eager to please - read: brown nosers. i don't have a problem with people who like to make a good impression - which is how i view 'suck ups'... especially since i am one! it's even better when you're on the receiving end. it makes me feel like everything isn't a waste after all.
when there are so many kids that don't pay attention, don't study, don't speak english, don't learn, don't anything, it's a really great feeling to know that there is at least ONE in the class who DOES. when there are two it's even better. they compete against each other and push each other to do better, to be the best. i like to think that it motivates the others, and in this class there are a few who get moving because of it, but the majority are wet rags. but STILL, having any kids who are "into" the class is an incredible motivator for me.
so, ya, my favourite class... every wednesday, last period of the day... it's a nice end to my three day week at the one school... we'll see what happens at the new school in the next couple of days... last week they wer evirtual angels, but the tide can change in seconds... let's hope i have ten favourites to report!
