So today was the end of the trimester at South Cache where I student teach. I gave my students evaluations of me to see how they think I am doing as their student teacher. I got some really good feedback from most of the students. Many told me that I'm loud (which is what I've been told by my sisters/brother my whole life) and a lot told me that I nee to me meaner and that I should start "dishin' out lunch detension". Both good suggestions. But my reason for this post is that I think 8th graders are just hillarious. They make me laugh so hard! Here is my favorite response from the evalutations:
When asked what three things I could do to make class more interesting one student responded:
-"Don't teach math"
-"Light stuff on fire"
-"Have a monkey sidekick"
So there you have it. The formula to be a successful math teacher is that I should not teach math, become a pyromaniac, and train a chimp to work along side me. That's all you need to impress 8th graders!
